The best edition of the play in print. Gives a radical re-examination of the manuscript, and relates step by step to the process by which the play acquired its final form. Accounts for every single word and mark found in the manuscript - reproduces rejected or alternative passages at the end of the text. Includes a detailed discussion of the authorship and date of the original text and so-called additions. Particularly important now as the play feeds into the present speculation concerning Shakespeare's Catholic roots.(.)
This is a critical edition of a famous theatrical document from the Elizabethan age. It indicates that the play "Sir Thomas More", far from being unfinished and chaotic, was stageworthy and well-constructed, the best extant example of the genre of biographical history.
