“Here, under the covers of one volume, we have an unparalleled opportunity to encounter the historical, intellectual, political, legal, cultural, religious, and spiritual More, whose brilliance of mind and conscience and consciousness permeate his writing.”—Elizabeth McCutcheon, University of Hawai
“This volume enables More scholars to situate their work within a richer context."—John F. Boyle, University of St. Thomas
“More’s complex life and controversial reputation as a defender of art, liberty, and law, have been treated in The Essential Works of Thomas More with decades of careful scholarly labor. The result is a hefty, handsome book in which, like a great city, a careful reader could spend a lifetime and still fail to know fully each of its stately halls and homely pubs.” —Matthew Mehan, Claremont Review of Books
“A tremendous scholarly undertaking . . . accessible and transparent to both scholars and the general audience . . . worthy of any scholar’s library.”—Arazoo Ferozan, Renaissance and Reformation
