Discover a story 400 years in the making – the definitive biography of the man who dominated England in the first half of the 16th century. Born into the English Wars of the Roses, educated in the European Renaissance, enthralled by the Age of Exploration and ultimately destroyed by Henry VIII, Thomas More is one of the most famous – or notorious – figures in English history. Is he a saintly scholar, the visionary author of ‘Utopia’ and an inspiration for statesmen, socialists and intellectuals even today? Or is he the stubborn zealot famously portrayed in Hilary Mantel’s ‘Wolf Hall’?
