Description

Thomas More: A Fresh Assessment This biography offers a new perspective on one of England's most significant figures, Thomas More. John Guy examines the factors that have led to conflicting portrayals of More as hero and villain, and seeks to uncover the truth behind his life and legacy. More's story has been shaped by various accounts, including those of Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons and Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. Guy's assessment aims to separate fact from fiction, exploring what made More a man of conviction and principle in a tumultuous period of English history. By re-examining the evidence, Guy sheds new light on this complex figure, revealing why Thomas More continues to fascinate and provoke us today.
