| Popis: | Thomas More inspired over 230 works of scholarship and biography in the nineteenth century, and from a sampling emerges the development of More’s image. From the political debate over the “Catholic Question” early in the century came oversimplifications of More’s life and times. During the middle years of the century, however, a corrective occurred as historians rethought More in light of archival materials. As More’s beatification neared. treatments of his life and thought shifted to an emphasis on his attempts at social reform and tolerance. This paper traces More’s fortuna through the nineteenth century, revealing the birth of what would today be called “Thomas More Studies. ” |
