A Man for All Seasons is a play by Robert Bolt based on the life of Sir Thomas More. The plot is based on the historical events leading up to the execution of Sir Thomas More, the 16th-century Chancellor of England, who refused to endorse King Henry VIII's wish to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon, who did not bear him a son, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, the sister of his former mistress.

Write Up Of Books A Man for All Seasons

Well written and thoughtful. With a unique perspective as a non-Catholic, Bolt shows the beautiful rationality of Sir Thomas More's decisions that lead to his death at the hands of English King Henry VIII. The same decision that gained More sainthood in the opinion of the Catholic Church earns him the respect of all rational and principled people through the writing of Bolt.

Best. Play. Maybe Ever. Sir Thomas More was a man of principles inviolable, (view spoiler)[ and for such would he meet his doom (hide spoiler)]. He was a family man, a religious man - Saintly, even - and could not be tricked, bullied, or altogether coerced to break an oath he had made in good faith, even at the behest of Henry VIII.Robert Bolt's introduction to the play enriches the entire experience. We get to understand why More's story was so compelling to him, and what he hoped to achieve

A very fast read; I managed to read it all in between loads of laundry. I would love to see this on the stage. I feel like the playwright captured Moore and Cromwell's positions and reputed attitudes very well. This is one of my favorite periods of history, and I never get tired of it. 3.5 rounded up.2018 Popsugar- A book that is also a stage play or musical.

A great classic, worth the read. We know how the story ends, and this one is a good depiction of the conflict between power --how arbitrary it can be-- and principle, in the face of all sorts of social pressure.

One of the great stories about conscience. Would you give up your life on principle for what you believe is right?Whether from our 21st century point of view, Thomas More was right or not matters little. The play has value as a psychological portrait of a man who digs in his heels and refuses to sign an oath for reasons of conscience, though he knows that doing so will mean his death. He doesn't want to die, and as a lawyer he tries every semantic and legalistic way to avoid his fate. But that

It was hard to rate this...the meaning of the story itself of course deserves five stars, but the book itself seemed like three stars...so I decided on four stars. :)
