Henri Bremond follows Thomas More from his early education and friendship with Erasmus to family life, public office and the religious conflict that ended in his execution. Written in French for the Les Saints series, the biography approaches More through his personal character, writings, beliefs and relationships.
Eight chapters cover youth, private life, the writer and statesman, the confrontation with Henry VIII and the final imprisonment and death. An introductory discussion of sources and a concluding bibliography indicate the historical and biographical material on which Bremond draws. This complete 1904 edition retains those supporting sections as well as the narrative.
