| Description | Authorship of the play Sir Thomas More, a part of which is attributed to William Shakespeare (Hand D), is reconsidered. Its dramatic unity, the subtle symmetries of its characters, and its network of cross-references point to an unique artistic intention. In addition to the number of references to various works by Shakespeare already noted in the modern editions of Sir Thomas More by Jenkins and by Gabrieli and Melchiori, the article brings into light number of textual coincidences. |
