Extractions: "Sir Thomas More – ou plus exactement saint Thomas More, puisqu'il a été béatifié par l'Église catholique en 1886 et canonisé en 1935 – a été présenté tour à tour comme «la figure la plus séduisante du début du XVIe siècle», «la voix de la conscience» de la première Réforme anglaise et «l'une des trois plus grandes figures de la Renaissance anglaise». Savant, juriste, théologien, homme d'État et finalement martyr, son influence s'est moins exercée sur l'évolution de la Réforme en Angleterre que sur la création d'un genre littéraire particulier: la description futuriste d'une société idéale. Le titre de son oeuvre la plus célèbre, L'utopie , a fini par devenir un mot de la langue courante ; et «utopique» se dit souvent d'un projet idéaliste dont la réalisation serait très souhaitable, mais qui est complètement irréaliste et impraticable. Dans le domaine de la théorie politique, les libéraux comme les socialistes attribuent à Thomas More la paternité de quelques-unes de leurs idées." (Keith Watson, "Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)"

Z Saint knight , Lord Chancellor of England , author and martyr , born in London , 7 February, 1477-78; executed at Tower Hill, 6 July, 1535. He was the sole surviving son of Sir John More, barrister and later judge, by his first wife Agnes, daughter of Thomas Graunger. While still a child Thomas was sent to St. Anthony's School in Threadneedle Street, kept by Nicholas Holt, and when thirteen years old was placed in the household of Cardinal Morton Archbishop of Canterbury , and Lord Chancellor. Here his merry character and brilliant intellect attracted the notice of the archbishop, who sent him to Oxford , where he entered at Canterbury Hall (subsequently absorbed by Christ Church) about 1492. His father made him an allowance barely sufficient to supply the necessaries of life and, in consequence, he had no opportunity to indulge in "vain or hurtful amusements" to the detriment of his studies. At Oxford he made friends with William Grocyn and Thomas Linacre , the latter becoming his first instructor in Greek. Without ever becoming an exact scholar he mastered Greek "by an instinct of genius" as witnessed by Pace (
