Peter Ackroyd creates an absorbing biography of Sir Thomas More--lawyer, scholar, author, and religious figure--who was put to death for his devotion to Catholicism in 1535. Ackroyd provides background on 16th-century London, insight into More's relationship with Henry VIII, and the details surrounding his imprisonment and execution. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998. Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The infant was taken, within a week of its birth, to the precincts of the church; the child of wrath must be reformed into the image of God, `the servant of the fiend' made into `a son of joy'."
Industry Reviews
"[A] sensitive, well-informed work that will be of value to anyone seeking a deeper knowledge of More's personal history."
Wall Street Journal - Perez Zagorin (10/22/1998)
