"This day conference, supported by the Spanish Embassy in London, coincides with a major exhibition in Valencia on the lives and the interactions between two central figures in English and Spanish life in the early sixteenth century, the humanists Sir Thomas More and Juan Luis Vives. More was successively a lawyer, MP, councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord Chancellor whose opposition to the English Reformation led to his execution for treason. Vives, born in Valencia into a Jewish family which had suffered at the hands of the Inquisition, came to England in the 1520s to be tutor to Princess Mary (later Queen Mary Tudor), and resided for some time in Oxford. He wrote extensively on psychology, medicine and education. The two men shared opinions, outlooks and approaches and Vives spent time at More’s home in Chelsea in 1526. This conference will examine their friendship and collaboration in the wider context of sixteenth-century humanism and Anglo-Spanish relations."

The conference will also include 3 short films made to illustrate the exhibition España E Inglaterra: Juan Luis Vives y Tomás Moro, Centre Del Carme, Valencia, Noviembre 2014-Enero 2015
