Journal Article
THE RELATIONSHIP OF BROTHERS-IN-LAW THOMAS MORE AND JOHN RASTELL
1999
Overview
Although how, when, and where More and Rastell met, their initial reactions to each other, the growth and strength of their friendship, what ideas they exchanged, how well their families got on, and other questions remain matters for speculation, this essay explores what can be known with relative certainty about their relationship. Financial arrangements, shared interests and training in law, participation in government, familial ties and children of similar ages, and involvement in religious controversy provide major junctures from which their relationship can be traced. Other crucial connections between these important men include Rastell's move from Coventry to London, his establishment of a printing house that published some of More's works, his attraction to the More Circle and its humanist ideas, his intended voyage to the New World (perhaps inspired, in part, by More's fictional journey in Utopia), his authorship of interludes and other works, and his conversion to Protestantism.
