1960 1ST EDITION "A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS" ROBERT BOLT DRAMA PLAY PB BOOK (P2)

Great vintage 1ST EDITION drama play historical fiction paperback book from 1960 by Robert Bolt. Photos 8 & 9 show a torn off corner of one page. Photo 17 shows where someone who played the part of Alice has underlined the names of Alice throughout the book with black and red pen and also shows a crossed out dialogue on the opposite page. Some pages also have pencil comments. Binding and other pages inside are in nice condition especially as the book is 65 years old.

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.

See photos for examples of pages inside.
