Thomas More remains one of the most enigmatic thinkers in history,
due in large part to the enduring mysteries surrounding his
best-known work, Utopia. He has been variously thought of as a
reformer and a conservative, a civic humanist and a devout
Christian, a proto-communist and a monarchical absolutist. His work
spans contemporary disciplines from history to politics to
literature, and his ideas have variously been taken up by
seventeenth-century reformers and nineteenth-century communists.
Through a comprehensive treatment of More's writing, from his
earliest poetry to his reflections on suffering in the Tower of
London, Joanne Paul engages with both the rich variety and some of
the fundamental consistencies that run throughout More's works. In
particular, Paul highlights More's concern with the destruction of
what is held 'in common', whether it be in the commonwealth or in
the body of the church. In so doing, she re-establishes More's
place in the history of political thought, tracing the reception of
his ideas to the present day. Paul's book serves as an essential
foundation for any student encountering More's writing for the
first time, as well as providing an innovative reconsideration of
the place of his works in the history of ideas.
