Leading Tudor historian Dr Joanne Paul discusses the life of Thomas More, one of the most famous figures of Tudor history.  He was a loyal servant and adviser to the King who became a religious martyr.  Was he a saintly scholar as shown in Robert Bolt’s play A Man for All Seasons, or the stubborn zealot and vindictive persecutor of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall?  Paul deconstructs the conflicting interpretations of this enigmatic man, who was complex, brilliant and troubled.  She reveals More as an intellectual and political giant of his age, who was central to the making of modern Europe.  Her definitive biography includes new archival discoveries and is a richly told story of family, faith and politics in a volatile and rapidly changing world.
