Abstract: Whatever else Thomas More was--and he was many things in his busy life--he was a consummate actor who knew drama intimately. From childhood until his death he was exposed to drama. He acted in plays, wrote little pieces, studied classical examples, and alluded to dramatic works on many occasions for rhetorical purposes. The historical record of his life shows an all-pervasive involvement with drama and influences from several sources: his humanistic studies, the concurrent medieval drama and early Tudor drama, and the court pageantry. The record of More's experience with drama has been scattered throughout the biographies and critical literature. This dissertation attempts to give a coherent picture of this aspect of More's life.
