Featured Book Biographical Utopia Critical Studies on Utopia History of King Richard III Other Works Bibliographical Miscellaneous A Thomas More Source Book by Gerard B. Wegemer (Ed.), Stephen W. Smith (Ed.) Paperback Catholic University of America Press, 2004 "Brings together classic texts by and about Thomas More—poet, scholar, statesman, family man, educational reformer, philosopher, historian, and saint. In addition to serving as an introduction to More's life and writings for the general reader, this collection is a helpful companion to the study of More's literary and philosophical masterwork, Utopia, and to the study of sixteenth-century history, literature, philosophy, or politics. The writings focus upon More's views of education, political theory, church-state relations, love and friendship, practical politics, and the vexing issues of conscience. They shed light on the distinctive Christian humanism that More expressed and embodied. Also included in this book are three famous sixteenth-century accounts of More's life by Erasmus, Roper, and a team of London playwrights including William Shakespeare."— Biographical The Life of Thomas More by Peter Ackroyd Paperback Published by Anchor Books; November, 1999 A superb book in a fluid style that covers all of More's life.

Over 100 pas- sages are reprinted here for the first time in four centuries and it is hoped that one value of the selection will prove to be the introduction of the reader to hitherto scarcely known treasures from his writings.

Drawn largely from unfamiliar sources, these extracts will give readers a wider view of More's personality and spirituality." —The Publisher.
