État, utopie et justice sociale : de Thomas More à Ruwen Ogien. Par Thierry Guinhut.
Une utopie qui ne soit pas une tyrannie est-elle possible ? Les racines utopiques du nazisme. Dans Crime et utopie, Frédéric Rouvillois tente de déceler ce que le national-socialisme doit aux théories millénaristes.
Si les historiens s'accordent sur le caractère monstrueux du nazisme, le débat subsiste quant aux raisons qui ont conduit un pays de haute culture comme l'Allemagne à céder à l'hitlérisme. Tudor terror: John Guy is on a mission to bring history to the masses - Features - Books. It is the summer of 1535, just weeks after the execution of Sir Thomas More.
A small rowing boat makes its way along the Thames from Chelsea to London Bridge. The oarsman's passengers are a 29-year-old gentlewoman, Margaret Roper, and her maid, who carries a basket. A horrific sight meets their eyes as they approach the bridge: a dozen or more skulls on poles protruding from the parapet, which have been boiled and tarred to prevent them being fed upon by circling gulls. As new heads arrive, the old ones are moved along the row until they reach the end of the line, when they are thrown into the river. At the door of the north tower of the bridge, the maid negotiates with the bridge-master, handing over the contents of her purse.
The English Reformation: St. Thomas More and Torture. Wolf Hall , the first volume in Hilary Mantel's trilogy of novels about Thomas Cromwell casts St.
Thomas More in an unflattering light, one that reviewers might be relishing. The Mirror of Justice blog posted this discussion on whether Chancellor More, in the process of enforcing England's heresy laws, used torture: This past Sunday's NY Times Book Review includes a review of Bring Up the Bodies , the much-anticipated sequel to Hilary Mantel's Booker Prize-winning novel Wolf Hall about Henry VIII and his court. The hero, of sorts, in Mantel's novels about the period is Thomas Cromwell, whom Mantel sets off against Thomas More (depicted in Wolf Hall as an eager torturer of Protestants).
The reviewer, Charles McGrath (former editor of the Book Review ), writes: "In Mantel’s version, More is no saint, as he almost certainly was not in real life: he’s fussily pious, stiff-necked and unnaturally fond of torturing heretics. " And Michael Moreland, the author of the post, goes on: 1. 2.

Thomas More. Pope Pius XI canonised More in 1935 as a martyr of the schism that separated the Church of England from Rome; Pope John Paul II in 2000 declared More the "heavenly Patron of Statesmen and Politicians".[4] Since 1980, the Church of England has remembered More liturgically as a Reformation martyr.[5] In 2002, he was placed at number 37 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.[6] Early life[edit] More began his studies at Oxford in 1492, and received a classical education.
Studying under Thomas Linacre and William Grocyn, he became proficient in both Greek and Latin. More left Oxford after only two years—at his father's insistence—to begin legal training in London at New Inn, one of the Inns of Chancery.[9]:xvii[11] In 1496, More became a student at Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court, where he remained until 1502, when he was called to the Bar.[9]:xvii Spiritual life[edit] Family life[edit] More's decision to educate his daughters set an example for other noble families.
Richard Marius. Richard Curry Marius (July 29, 1933–November 5, 1999) was an American academic and writer.
He was a scholar of the Reformation , novelist of the American South , speechwriter, and teacher of writing and English literature at Harvard University . He was widely published, leaving behind major biographies of Thomas More and Martin Luther , four novels set in his native Tennessee , several books on writing, and a host of scholarly articles for academic journals and mainstream book reviews. Working from a small cluttered office atop Harvard's Widener Library and an equally cluttered study in his home in Belmont, Massachusetts , Marius was a charismatic raconteur, a provocative political activist, and a devoted wearer of bowties. He was also an enthusiastic cyclist, biking to Cambridge, Massachusetts , from his home in Belmont and taking frequent bike trips in the French countryside until his health failed in 1998.
