This Companion offers a comprehensive introduction to the life and
work of a major figure of the modern world. Combining breadth of
coverage with depth, the book opens with essays on More's family,
early life and education, his literary humanism, virtuoso rhetoric,
illustrious public career and ferocious opposition to emergent
Protestantism, and his fall from power, incarceration, trial and
execution. These chapters are followed by in-depth studies of five
of More's major works - Utopia, The History of King Richard the
Third, A Dialogue Concerning Heresies, A Dialogue of Comfort
against Tribulation and De Tristitia Christi - and a final essay on
the varied responses to the man and his writings in his own and
subsequent centuries. The volume provides an accessible overview of
this fascinating figure to students and other interested readers,
whilst also presenting, and in many areas extending, the most
important modern scholarship on him.
