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.
