Geoffrey Christopher Morris (24 January 1906 – 16 February 1993) was a British historian and fellow of King's College, University of Cambridge, whose book on Tudor political thought was described by Geoffrey Elton as a "brilliant summary".
Geoffrey Christopher Morris was born on 24 January 1906 in Great Bookham, Surrey.
His first specialism was in Tudor and Stuart constitutional history and he later taught the standard course on political thought from Plato to Rousseau.
[2] Geoffrey Elton, who agreed, described the book in England under the Tudors (1955) as a "brilliant summary".
Morris began a history of western political thought but only completed volume 1 (Plato to Augustine, 1967), being overtaken, according to The Independent, by new thinking that left his liberal approach looking outdated.
