ANTHONY KENNY ,
Fellow of Balliol College, Oxforj compares the historical figure of Sir Thomas More with Robert Bolt 's view of him in the play A Man for All Seasons ' Rather as Bernard Shaw made Joan of Arc into a Protestant martyr. Robert Bolt has made Thomas More into an existentialist martyr ... The real More would have enjoyed Bolt's play; but he would have been mightily puzzled by the conduct of its hero.'
