A Daughter's Love Thomas and Margaret More Free read Ç PDF, DOC, TXT, eBook or Kindle ePUB free John Guy ☆ 2 Free download Read A Daughter's Love Thomas and Margaret More This book will break open a secret It is a gripping tale of love loyalty and domestic. This book intrigued me because I know the story where Meg goes to The Tower and retrieved her father s head after it had been on Traitor s Gate I know the story about More and Henry VIII but I was hoping to learn about the man s personal life which I did His daughter Meg made sure his writings and letters were preserved and published which helps us understand the man This covers details about Utopia which I enjoyed I believe he and his daughter Meg were brilliant even if I didn t always agree with their views Besides being the King s Lord Chancellor he was social philosopher lawyer and humanist His friendship with the philosopher Erasmus is covered in this book I was intrigued how his mind worked too be so Catholic but to insist on women s education to dream up a fictional Utopia and trick the world then to turn around and to burn heretics to help their souls He was definitely an interesting man I believe the first socialist of his time I know how books were banned but this goes into detail about what they had to go through to be published An interesting part of the book is where Wolsey stepped in and helped Meg when she was arrested for publishing her book Even though it was dry in parts I enjoyed it
