He was a friend of Thomas More and served as an ambassador under Henry VIII, although he often found himself politically out of step with the shifting tides of the Tudor court. Elyot also wrote on medicine and language, contributing to the development of English prose and educational reform during the Renaissance. S. E. Lehmberg (Stanford E. Lehmberg, 1931–2012) was an American historian and scholar of English history, particularly focused on the English Reformation and the Tudor period. He was a professor at the University of Minnesota and authored numerous well-regarded books, including Sir Thomas Elyot: Tudor Humanist, The Reformation Parliament 1529–1536, and Cathedrals Under Siege. His work was notable for combining rigorous archival research with accessible prose, shedding light on the religious, political, and cultural transformations of early modern England. Lehmberg’s scholarship contributed significantly to the understanding of ecclesiastical history and the complexities of Tudor governance.. Very Good in Good dust jacket .
