The first comprehensive one-volume collection of St. Thomas More’s writing “[A] tremendous scholarly undertaking. . . . Accessible and transparent to both scholars and the general audience.”—Renaissance and Reformation In this book, Gerard B. Wegemer and Stephen W. Smith assemble, for the first time in a single volume, the most important English and Latin works of Thomas More (1478–1535). This collection reveals the breadth of More’s writing—key works on theology, political philosophy, and law, as well as his poetry and prose—and includes a rich selection of illustrations and artwork. The book provides the most complete picture of More’s work available, serving as a major resource for early modern scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader.

“More’s complex life and controversial reputation as a defender of art, liberty, and law have been treated in The Essential Works of Thomas More with decades of careful scholarly labor. The result is a hefty, handsome book in which, like a great city, a careful reader could spend a lifetime and still fail to know fully each of its stately halls and homely pubs.”—Matthew Mehan, Claremont Review of Books“Similar to those humanists in the past who imitated and vivified their ancient models, Wegemer and Smith have given us a living More for our times.”—Travis Curtright, Moreana“A tremendous scholarly undertaking . . . accessible and transparent to both scholars and the general audience. . . . Worthy of any scholar’s library.”—Arazoo Ferozan, Renaissance and Reformation“Here, under the covers of one volume, we have an unparalleled opportunity to encounter the historical, intellectual, political, legal, cultural, religious, and spiritual More, whose brilliance of mind and conscience and consciousness permeate his writing.”—Elizabeth McCutcheon, University of Hawai“This volume enables More scholars to situate their work within a richer context."—John F. Boyle, University of St. Thomas
