2 Biographies

Robert Bolt's play " A Man for All Seasons" is about Sir Thomas's losing battle against King Henry's determination to have an English national church that he could control. Two films have been made of that play: the 1966 Oscar winner starring Paul Scofield and a 1988 version starring Charlton Heston. Karl Zuchardt wrote a novel, tellingly called "Stirb Du Narr!" ( Die you fool! ) about More's struggle with King Henry, portraying More as a humanist idealist bound to fail in the power struggle with a ruthless ruler and an unjust world.

Good recent written biographies include those by Richard Marius and Peter Ackroyd.
