Thomas More Studies
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Thomas More was the sixteenth-century statesman who served as Lord Chancellor of England under Henry VIII before being executed for defending the ancient liberties of his country and for refusing to compromise his conscience. Coming from humble roots, Thomas More achieved uncommon professional success, and he attributed that success to the depth and excellence of the education that he received. A principled politician known as "the best friend the poor ever had" and dedicated to God and His laws, he was an intellectual with a great sense of humor; he was the first in history to give a defense for free speech; he was the first to use the word "integrity" in the English language, and although he worked for a monarch, he showed the superiority of parliamentary government based on the people's consent. More was a dedicated family man who studied throughout his life and carefully attended to his children’s education. He was also a shrewd professional and entrepreneur. A master of diplomatic speech, famous for the range of his irony and wit, More has been known, even in his own lifetime, as "a man for all seasons.
