Thomas More is one of the great figures in English history,but his life and career bear little resemblance to the myth of the saint or of the 'man for all seasons'.In this remarkable new biography Peter Ackroyd reveals a man more troubled and more perplexing than that of any previous account. More was the most brilliant Englishman of his age,but one who remained guarded and silent in the matters that most concerned him.He was an eminent lawyer who wore a hair shirt and who,in the privacy of his library,whipped himself. More was a man of the Renaissance,the author of 'Utopia' and a supporter of the new learning; but he was also a profound traditionalist who gave his life in the service of the old faith.He was a man of great spirituality and deep piety; yet he was an ambitious and successful careerist who,as Lord Chancellor,dominated the court of Henry VIII. A magnificent achievement,'The Life of Thomas More' brings us closer to a man who has remained an enigma for 500 years.It offers a portrait as decisive as Holbein's famous drawing,while also brilliantly recreating the conditions of Catholic England at the end of the fifteenth century.

Imprint: London, Vintage, 1999 435pp. B&W and Color Illustrations. Trade PB. Front cover bottom corner lightly creased . Saint Thomas More (1477? -1535) , was a great English author, statesman, and scholar. He served as lord chancellor, the highest judicial official in England, from 1529 to 1532. But More resigned because he opposed King Henry VIII's plan to annul his marriage to the queen. More was beheaded in 1535 for refusing to accept the king as head of the English church and has become an example of the individual who places conscience above the claims of secular authority. The Roman Catholic Church declared him a saint in 1935. In 2000, the church named him patron saint of statesmen and politicians, 8vo, Very Good with no DJ Stock number: 024718.
