title: Shakespeare and Sir Thomas More: Essays on the Play and its Shakespearian Interest (New Cambridge Shakespeare Studies and Supplementary Texts)
author: T. H. Howard-Hill
description: Scholarly interest in The Book of Sir Thomas More has concentrated on the issue of Shakespeare's contribution to its revision. The range of topics in this volume is much wider than that of the 1923 collection, taking in the problems presented by the play as a whole, its authorship and revision, structure, occasion and staging.
