Excerpt from Life of Cardinal Wolsey - "This cardinal, Though from a humble stock, undoubtedly Was fashioned to much honour from his cradle. He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one: Exceeding wise, fair-spoken, and persuading. Lofty and sour, to them that loved him not, But, to those men that sought him, sweet as summer. And though he was unsatisfied in getting, (Which was a sin, ) yet in bestowing He was most princely. Ever witness for him Ipswich and Oxford! One of which fell with him, Unwilling to outlive the good that did it; The other, though unfinished, yet so famous, So excellent in art, and yet so rising, That Christendom shall ever speak his virtue. His overthrow heap'd business upon him; For then, and not till then, he felt himself, And found the blessedness of being little: And, to add greater honours to his age Than man could give him, he died fearing God."

"The serious student of the era and the even larger number of enthusiastic admirers of the historical literature for that complex and challenging age will be profoundly grateful for this compact, modern version of two Tudor classics."—Catholic Historical Review Around the year 1557, George Cavendish and William Roper fashioned masterful biographies of two figures who played major roles in the dramatic sequence of events that transformed the face of England. Each author knew his subject intimately; Cavendish served Wolsey as the Cardinal’s gentleman usher, and Roper was More’s son-in-law. Edited from the manuscripts for the Early English Text Society, the modernized versions of the two biographies presented here are based upon these authoritative editions.
