The Essential Works of Thomas More

The first comprehensive one-volume collection of St. Thomas More's writing

"[A] tremendous scholarly undertaking. . . . Accessible and transparent to both scholars and the general audience."-Renaissance and Reformation

In this book, Gerard B. Wegemer and Stephen W. Smith assemble, for the first time in a single volume, the most important English and Latin works of Thomas More (1478-1535). This collection reveals the breadth of More's writing-key works on theology, political philosophy, and law, as well as his poetry and prose-and includes a rich selection of illustrations and artwork. The book provides the most complete picture of More's work available, serving as a major resource for early modern scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader.
