R. W. Chambers, Queen Professor of English at University College London, brings formidable academic rigour and narrative authority to bear on More's extraordinary journey from the corridors of royal power to the Tower of London. The biography chronicles More's intellectual brilliance, his deep friendships with the leading minds of Europe including Erasmus, and his authorship of the visionary Utopia, while simultaneously illuminating the unshakeable faith that defined his final years. Written with both scholarly precision and genuine moral seriousness, this work argues persuasively that More's integrity and refusal to compromise represent a timeless standard of principled resistance. It remains an essential text for anyone seeking to understand the Tudor period, the English Reformation, and the enduring legacy of one of history's most admired dissenters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956347056347,"sku":"2026200008322-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8eba9488-8d6b-4b66-951a-7e0b307e92b6.png?v=1783499961","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008322-secondhand-thomas-more","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
