Book Overview

A rare window into the pulse of early modern England, The Book Of Sir Thomas More stands as a gripping testament to the power and peril of dissent. In the heart of the London theatre scene, this remarkable historical play-shaped by the hands of unknown dramatists and believed to bear traces of Shakespeare's own artistry-unfolds amid the turbulence of the English Renaissance.
