A Man for All Seasons--Origin of the phrase

Read about the origin of the famous encomium for More, "a man for all seasons," or in Latin, vir omnium horarum.

The article, printed in Thomas More Studies 1 (2006), is by Dr. Clarence Miller, who served as Executive Editor of Yale University Press’ Complete Works of St. Thomas More; he translated and edited the 2001 Yale edition of Utopia. He is Professor Emeritus of St. Louis University.
