Summary:
"This program follows the progress of More's intellectual development, from his early friendship with the influential humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam, to his rise to power as a member of Parliament and later Chancellor of England, through his tempestuous relationship with King Henry VIII--who would eventually break away from the Catholic Church and set into motion More's execution. In this program, quotations from Utopia serve as a dramatic counterpoint to More's own life story, bringing into stark relief the contrast between his idealized state and the real world in which he lived and died"--Container.
