Adams, and Clarence H. Miller (1995). Separate collections of his letters include Elizabeth Frances Rogers (ed.), The Correspondence of Sir Thomas More (1947), and Selected Letters (1961).

Studies of his life and works include R.W.

Reynolds, The Field Is Won: The Life and Death of Saint Thomas More (1968, reissued as The Life and Death of St. Thomas More, 1978); R.S. Sylvester and G.P.
