Peter Ackroyd's remarkable biography provides a vivid portrait of the life and convictions of this enigmatic statesman and humanist and brings to life London and England in the late 15th and early 16th century. Ackroyd captures and conveys the atmosphere of England's religious and political struggles as well as the great learning that swept across Northern Europe at this time. The account contains innumerable contemporary anecdotes and documents which help Ackroyd achieve that sense of drama which characterises the biography and Sir Thomas' life.
