Summary
Summary
Thomas More is an enduringly fascinating and profoundly controversial figure. A brilliant scholar, his Utopia of 1516 dared to imagine how society might be completely reordered. At the same
time, his hatred of the Reformation caused him to advocate, and seek to implement, the death penalty for heretics. A friend and advisor to Henry VIII, More's refusal to support Henry's break with
Rome led to his execution in 1535, and the start of a long argument about his legacy.
This Very Short Introduction assesses More's life, writings, and achievements, and examines changing views of his character, in both historical interpretation and various works of
fiction.
