St. Thomas More: Selected Writing

In the first selection in decades made for the general reader from his collected works, St. Thomas More traces More's journey of moral conviction in his own words and writings. Drawing on a variety of More's writings -- the extraordinary Tower Works, written in prison, his poignant last letters to his daughter Margaret, and his poems, private prayers and devotional works -- St. Thomas More will provide even readers who have little background in Renaissance humanism or history with a rich introduction to this man of spiritual principle. Also included is the famous Life of Sir Thomas More, written by his son-in-law, William Roper.
