The Life of Sir Thomas More by William Roper |
|
Erasmus said of his friend Thomas More that he was "the most delightful character in the world . . . indeed I do not think it is easier to make a likeness of More than of Alexander the Great or Achilles; neither were those heroes more worthy of immortality." William Roper was More's son-in-law and his life of Sir Thomas More, with its intimate glimpses of life within the More household, has become a classic biography. A new gift edition, illustrated with portraits of More, his family and their contemporaries by Hans Holbein. ISBN 0-87243-118-5 $9.95 See page 4 for another Thomas More title |

A Book for All Seasons Readings from Thomas More arranged by E. E. Reynolds |
|
|
This book consists of extracts from St. Thomas More's English writings or from his reported words. Over 100 passages are reprinted here for the first time in four centuries and it is hoped that one value of the selection will prove to be the introduction of the reader to hitherto scarcely known treasures from his writings. The main emphasis has been on More's teaching on religion and the life of the spirit, the transience of human life and the study of the Scriptures. Drawn largely from unfamiliar sources, these extracts will give readers a wider view of More's personality and spirituality. ISBN 0-87243-184-3 $11.95 |
