More’s complex life and controversial reputation as a defender of art, liberty, and law have been treated in The Essential Works of Thomas More with decades of careful scholarly labor. The result is a hefty, handsome book in which, like a great city, a careful reader could spend a lifetime and still fail to know fully each of its stately halls and homely pubs.
—Matthew Mehan, Claremont Review of Books
Similar to those humanists in the past who imitated and vivified their ancient models, Wegemer and Smith have given us a living More for our times.
—Travis Curtright, Moreana
A tremendous scholarly undertaking . . . accessible and transparent to both scholars and the general audience. . . . Worthy of any scholar’s library.
