Thomas More is one of the great figures in English history. Pre-eminent as a courtier and as a humanist, a friend to Henry VIII and the author of Utopia, More's life and career epitomise the great transformation of England in the space of 35 years. Ackroyd investigates the paradox of this 'man for all seasons'- the man of the world who travelled across Europe to negotiate on behalf of his king, and the unwordly man whose careful silence on the matter of Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn would lead to his disgrace and execution. A magnificent achievement, the Life of Thomas More gives us a rich portrait of the man and of the social and cultural world in which he lived.
