Description
Thomas More remains one of history's most enigmatic thinkers, with his work leaving behind a complex legacy. His writings span multiple disciplines and have been taken up by various groups across different eras. This comprehensive treatment of More's writing explores both the variety and consistencies in his works. Joanne Paul examines More's concern with what is held 'in common', whether it be in the commonwealth or the body of the church, highlighting a fundamental aspect of his thought. By tracing the reception of his ideas to the present day, Paul re-establishes More's place in the history of political thought. This book provides an essential foundation for students encountering More's writing for the first time and offers a fresh reconsideration of the significance of his works in the history of ideas.
