Thomas More: A Biography
[Richard Marius'sThomas More] will be the definitive popular biography. Custody of the popular memory of a figure like More is of some real importance, and Marius's custody is exemplary. His book is accessible enough to be read by a wide audience but complete and original enough to merit reading by a specialized audience. It is as subtle and satisfying a portrait as I have encountered in years. (Jack MilesLos Angeles Times Book Review)A very remarkable and exciting book, full of knowledge and understanding. (G. R. EltonNew York Review of Books)[Richard Marius's] principal claim as a biographer is an unrivaled knowledge of More's works. This serves him very well, in my view. For instance, he is the first writer to stress the central importance of More's unfinished biography of Richard III. (Paul JohnsonNew York Times Book Review)
