Book excerpt: Peter Ackroyd's The Life of Thomas More is a masterful reconstruction of the life and imagination of one of the most remarkable figures of history. Thomas More (1478-1535) was a renowned statesman; the author of a political fantasy that gave a name to a literary genre and a worldview (Utopia); and, most famously, a Catholic martyr and saint. Born into the professional classes, Thomas More applied his formidable intellect and well-placed connections to become the most powerful man in England, second only to the king. As much a work of history as a biography, The Life of Thomas More gives an unmatched portrait of the everyday, religious, and intellectual life of the early sixteenth century. In Ackroyd's hands, this renowned "man for all seasons" emerges in the fullness of his complex humanity; we see the unexpected side of his character--such as his preference for bawdy humor--as well as his indisputable moral courage.

Book excerpt: Most previous biographers of Thomas More have sought to prove him a saint; in this, the first full-scale biography of More in half a century, Richard Marius, a leading Reformation historian, seeks to restore the man. More’s life spanned a tumultuous period in Western history. He was born in 1478 into a society still medieval in its customs and laws. But by the time of his death in 1535 England was already shaken to its depths by the powerful and unsettling ideas of the Renaissance. Marius draws upon important recent research and his profound knowledge of More’s own voluminous writing to make a coherent whole of the life and work of the immensely complex man who was both a product of the times and a singular figure in them. He gives us More the boy—his London childhood, he deep respect for his father, who rose from a tradesman’s background to become a judge of the highest court in the land (a “council of fathers” was to rule More’s kingdom of Utopia) . . . More the youth—sent at about age twelve to serve in the household of the powerful and political Bishop Morton, later struggling to choose between the priesthood and the lures of secular life: marriage and a career in the great world… More the Londoner, the city man—lawyer, graduate of the Inns of Court, member of the rising middle class with its drive for an achievement and position. We see More the humanist man of letter as Marius treats in full his friendship with Erasmus; his now controversial History of Richard III, from which Shakespeare’s Richard derives; and the originals and meanings of his most famous work, Utopia. More the family man is reveal in his relationship with his father, his two wives, and his children as far more complex than the sanctified image of legend. Marius explore More’s public career as Lord Chancellor, as champion of the Catholic church, and finally as martyr to the old faith. He shows us a man who, although he hated and feared tyrants, always believes that authority as a source of order was necessary to the public good—a man who as royal councilor and Lord Chancellor upheld his king until the very moment when, in response to Henry’s final tyranny, he chose “to die the King’s good servant, but God’s first.” Marius also demonstrates that it was the centuries-old authority of the Catholic Church that More revered; that he was as suspicious of paper supremacy as of any tyranny. The man Marius ultimately reveals is one more passionate and driven (in his family life, his convictions, his persecution of heretics) than the serene hero of A Man For All Seasons. But he is also a man possessed of such wit, integrity and charm that he was loved not only by his family but by almost everyone who knew him. It is the special triumph of this biography that with its rare combination of impeccable scholarship and narrative power, we are brought into the presence of a whole person with all his flaws and virtues, and that by the time More meets his death, he has become familiar and important to us not merely as a historical figure but also as a human being.

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword by Sir Joseph Walton, Knt. Some books are valuable for what they teach us and others we prize for what they are. William Roper's book about Sir Thomas More may justly claim a place amongst the select few which are no less rich in matter than pleasing in form. In a style which may seem involved sometimes, but has nevertheless all the charm that belongs to our language in the vigour of its literary youth, he tells a story of the deepest human interest, and he tells of things which he himself had seen and heard, and remembered. No figure which passes across the stage of English history has a more fascinating interest than that of Thomas More; especially to those of us who profess the ancient faith for which he died, and now revere him as Blessed. And his life is something more than interesting. It appears to have been set up as an example and guide to those who from his time onward were to find their way through the difficulties of these latter days of intellectual enterprise and self-confidence, and of religious unrest. In considering the true significance of the life and death of More it is well to recall the circumstances of the time in which he lived. The condition of the Church at the beginning of the 16th century has been much misrepresented, and there has been gross exaggeration of the abuses in its religious life and government. But what we ought to remember for our present purpose is (in the words of one of the most learned of living Catholic historians) that "it may be admitted that the Church in life and discipline was not all that could be desired" and "that in many things there was need of reform in its truest sense." This was appreciated by no one more truly or justly or with a keener insight than by Sir Thomas More. His delightful and never-failing sense of humour must not be forgotten. And we know that the pupil of Linacre and Grocyn, the close friend of Erasmus, the hospitable patron of Holbein rejoiced in all that was good and true and beautiful in the Renaissance of art and learning. But he gave up all and life to him offered every attraction and went cheerfully to death rather than be in any way a party to the revolt against the spiritual supremacy of the Pope. This is the story which William Roper has to tell. Has it not, if we think of it, many lessons for all of us, whether we be of those whose impulse it is to look with confidence, and sometimes perhaps with too little patience, to the future, or of those whose nature it is to cling piously to the past and to resist perhaps even that inevitable movement by which the old order is ever changing giving place to the new? Sir Thomas More teaches us always, and in all events, patience and good temper and at the same time the strictest and most perfect loyalty to faith and conscience.

Download or read book Saint Thomas More written by Thomas More and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2003-04-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a variety of More’s late writings, this collection provides even readers lacking a background in Renaissance humanism or history with a rich introduction to a startlingly modern man of spiritual principle. Thomas More is perhaps most familiar to us from his courageous struggle with Henry VIII, unforgettably portrayed in Robert Bolt’s classic, A Man for All Seasons. But that final struggle, which ended in his execution for treason, was only the crowning act in a life that he had devoted to God long before. In the first selection in decades made for the general reader from his collected works, this volume traces More’s journey of moral conviction in his own words and writings. Also included is the famous “Life of Sir Thomas More,” written by his son-in-law, William Roper. In the annals of spirituality certain books stand out both for their historical importance and for their continued relevance. The Vintage Spiritual Classics series offers the greatest of these works in authoritative new editions, with specially commissioned essays by noted contemporary commentators. Filled with eloquence and fresh insight, encouragement and solace, Vintage Spiritual Classics are incomparable resources for all readers who seek a more substantive understanding of mankind's relation to the divine.
