Thomas More: Humanism and Heresy offers a clear and engaging introduction to one of the most influential and contested figures of the English Renaissance. Situating More's major works within the humanist movement and the debates surrounding the Lutheran 'heresy' and the Tudor court, Andrew Hadfield and Joanne Paul reveal how his ideas grew from - yet often strained against - the intellectual currents of his time. Through vivid contemporary illustrations and quotations, they bring fresh clarity to More's texts, from Utopia to his late polemics, while offering original insights into the character and convictions behind them. By tracing both the brilliance and tensions of More's legacy, this book invites readers to reconsider the man who helped shape modern debates about faith, reason and political conscience.
