Morus (1826) - Hardback

Morus is a book written by Kenelm Henry Digby in 1826. The book is a biography of Sir Thomas More, a 16th-century English lawyer, social philosopher, and statesman who served as Chancellor of England under King Henry VIII. Digby's book provides a detailed account of More's life, including his rise to power, his religious beliefs, and his eventual execution for refusing to acknowledge Henry VIII as the head of the Church of England. The book also includes an analysis of More's philosophy, particularly his ideas on the nature of government and the relationship between the individual and the state. Morus is considered one of the most comprehensive and authoritative biographies of Sir Thomas More, and is widely regarded as a classic work of historical scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
