I found this link to have some interesting information on Sir More. The section entitled "The Life of Sir Thomas More" was a good overview of the basics, but didn't include a reference to Utopia, which I thought was kind of strange. Also included under the heading "Essays and Articles" were many interesting insights into the world during More's lifetime. One in particular struck me because it included Chaucer and More in the same title: http://www.geocities.com/yskretz/morechaucer.html
But, as you can see, this is a .com site so I wanted to investigate this correlation a little bit further. I found the same article from a more reputable website. Its a little be difficult to read (and it doesn't help that I'm battling the flu), but the article seems to be saying that Chaucer was a role model for More. More eventually even being praised on the same level as Chaucer, as being influential over English writing and one of the greatest writers of all time.
I have to go to class now, but I will be back and write more in a few hours :-)
