This modern-spelling critical edition of a famous and controversial theatrical document from the Elizabethan age shows that Sir Thomas More is the best extant example of the genre of biographical history. Following a radical re-examination of the manuscript, this edition relates step by step to the process by which the play acquired its final form, accounting in the collation and in the rejected or alternative passages at the end of the text for each single word or mark found in the manuscript. Particular attention is devoted to the use of sources not previously identified, most of which are reproduced in the appendices.

Very nice play,

This review is from: Sir Thomas More: By Anthony Munday and Others (Paperback)
A very worthy-reading play.
Ignore all the authorship-thing. It only takes the play (and its readers) to an oblivion zone. Dramatic and deep. It is between a chronicle and a history play, another reason to the interested in 'Elizabethan history plays' take some time to read it. This edition is a very good one, nice introduction, helpful notes and appendixes. Very like Arden-3.
