Summary "The Household of Sir Thomas More" by Anne Manning is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It presents an imaginative portrait of the life and family of Sir Thomas More, focusing particularly on his eldest daughter, Margaret. The narrative attempts to capture the domestic life of this prominent historical figure and the dynamics of his family, highlighting the intersections of education, piety, and the intellectual atmosphere of the time. At the start of the book, the tone is set through the eyes of Margaret, who is advised by her tutor, Mr. Gunnel, to keep a journal of important family events. As she begins to write, she recounts her daily life and interactions, particularly the vibrant personalities within her household, including her father and the renowned scholar Erasmus. The opening depicts the warmth and complexity of family life, filled with playful banter, the pursuit of knowledge, and community life, as seen during a visit from Erasmus. The narrative establishes a historical context while emphasizing the themes of education, virtue, and familial love, painting a vivid picture of More's household and its unique culture during a turbulent period in history.
