4.0

An interseting, though sometimes chronologically incorrect, window into 16th century England. The biography focuses on both politics and religion concerning the court of Henry VIII, as well as More's personla life. Roper's writing is extremely flattering, as More was his father-in-law, though the man's character was undoubtably noble. Many of More's lines in the Showtime series "The Tudors" are direct quotes from this biography.
