How he achieved this unusual balance in the midst of extraordinary demands in his family, professional, and personal life is the focus of this new biography. Thomas More: A Portrait of Courage is the first biography of More to concentrate on his understanding of the virtues and how he lived them. It sheds new light on this Renaissance humanist and saint who became: London's most sought~after lawyer a loving husband and father Speaker of the House of Commons and the first proponent of political free speech Lord Chancellor, the highest appointed office a respected judge; eventually, chief justice a much~imitated educator, a champion of women's education a well~loved citizen: "born for friendship"; "the best friend the poor ever had" an accomplished diplomat, orator, and politician opposed to absolute monarchy a poet and writer, famous throughout Europe, and author of the literary classic Utopia. Two centuries after More's death, Jonathan Swift characterized him as "a person of the greatest virtue this kingdom ever produced." The poet John Donne described him as a "man of the most tender and delicate conscience that the world saw since Augustine." In our century, these same qualities have been dramatized in Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons. [scarce in the hardcover~currently selling on amazon for 400 dollars]. N° de réf. du vendeur 9132501
