England In The Age Of Thomas More by Derek Wilson

England during the lifetime of Thomas More (1478-1535) was a turbulent land in the grip of the most far-reaching revolution in the nation's history. The dissolution of the monasteries, the circulation of the first printed books, the impact of new religious ideas, the collapsing power of the baronage, the cultural challenge of the Renaissance, the rapid growth of a new landed middle class -- all this turned society upside down, and matters were made worse by dramatic price inflation. Thomas More -- scholar, lawyer, churchman and ultimately martyr -- touched Tudor life at more points than most of his contemporaries, and his unique perceptiveness, shown most clearly in "Utopia", make him an excellent 'window' on to the age.
