    Thomas More
    Biography
    (1478–1535)

    Thomas More is known for his 1516 book 'Utopia' and for his untimely death in 1535, after refusing to
    acknowledge King Henry VIII as head of the Church of England.

    Who Was Thomas More?

    Thomas More wrote Utopia in 1516, which was the fore runner of the utopian literary genre. More
    served as an important counselor to King Henry VIII of England, serving as his key counselor in the early
    1500s, but after he refused to accept the king as head of the Church of England, he was tried for treason
    and beheaded (he died in London, England, in 1535). More is noted for coining the word "Utopia," in
    reference to an ideal political system in which policies are governed by reason. He was canonized by the
    Catholic Church as a saint in 1935, and has been commemorated by the Church of England as a
    "Reformation martyr."

    'Utopia'

    In 1516, More published Utopia, a work of fiction primarily depicting a pagan and communist island on
    which social and political customs are entirely governed by reason. The description of the island of
    Utopia comes from a mysterious traveler to support his position that communism is the only cure for
    the egoism found in both private and public life—a direct jab at Christian Europe, which was seen by
    More as divided by self-interest and greed.

    Utopia covered such far-reaching topics as theories of punishment, state-controlled education, multi-
    religion societies, divorce, euthanasia and women's rights, and the resulting display of learning and skill
    established More as a foremost humanist. Utopia also became the forerunner of a new literary genre:
    the utopian romance.
