Where it came from
The Last Letters of Thomas More, edited by Alvaro de Silva and published in 2000, serves as a significant scholarly compilation of the correspondence penned by Sir Thomas More during his final imprisonment in the Tower of London. These documents were originally written in 1534 and 1535 while More awaited execution for refusing to acknowledge King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church of England, capturing his profound reflections on faith, conscience, and familial devotion under the shadow of death.
The editorial work by Alvaro de Silva focuses on presenting these letters with historical context to make More's archaic English accessible to modern readers. Published by W.B. Eerdmans, the collection is recognized for its careful preservation of More's theological arguments and humanistic perspective. The volume was received by critics as a poignant insight into the interior life of a historical figure, emphasizing the intellectual courage behind his martyrdom.
