Subject: Catholic Studies (Grad) (CSMA)
CRN: 22509
Lecture
St Paul: Sitzmann Hall B10
Thomas More was the exemplary renaissance man: a scholar, lawyer, and statesman of wit and humor dedicated to his wife and children. He held political office second in power only to the king whom he served faithfully and at whose orders he was beheaded. The Catholic Church has declared him a martyr. His is certainly a remarkable life, and it has a substantial paper trail. We will read a number of his major works as well as study his life with the goal of determining if and how he achieved such a remarkable integration of thought and life. The readings may include More’s two great political works, the enigmatic Utopia, and his History of King Richard III, which so influenced Shakespeare’s play; his Dialog concerning Heresies in defense of the Catholic Church against the emerging protestant reformers; and, from his imprisonment in the Tower of London, the Dialog of Comfort in Tribulation and his prison letters.
