The Life of Sir Thomas MoreTemplegate Publishers, 1985 - 125 pàgines Erasmus said of his friend Thomas More, the author of Utopia, 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. |
