Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book restores the historical record on a pivotal Shakespearean figure by blending archival research with in-depth literary analysis. The author challenges the negative portrait of Sir Thomas More that was circulated by Tudor propagandists and later popularized by Robert Bolt's play "A Man for All Seasons." By examining More's writings and diplomatic efforts during a period of religious and political upheaval, he argues that More, in fact, supported reforms that helped create the conditions for religious tolerance in England. Delving into More's complex intellectual world, he elucidates the humanist principles that animated More's political thought and his resistance to royal supremacy over the English church. Ultimately, this book offers a reassessment of More's legacy as a champion of conscience and the rule of law.
