<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This hugely successful retelling of the fall of Sir Thomas More has gained plaudits for its stage, movie, and television versions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This tragic historical drama offers a brilliant portrait of Sir Thomas More in his last years as Lord Chancellor of England during the reign of Henry VIII. When Henry fails to obtain Papal approval for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn, he mandates his subjects to sign an "Act of Supremacy" making him both spiritual and temporal leader of England. Sir Thomas cannot in good conscience comply. Neither Cromwell, Cardinal Wolsey, his family nor the King himself are able to convince More as he maintains his integrity and belief in silence. Ultimately accused of high treason, this very silence leads the man to his execution and later his canonization in 1935.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>"A Man for All Seasons is a stark play, sparse in its narrative, sinewy in its writing, which confirms Mr Bolt as a genuine and solid playwright, a force in our awakening theatre."—"Daily Mail"<br>
