Shakespeare, Sir Thomas More, and the Dangerous Politics of Renaissance England

Thomas More was variously known to Elizabethan audiences as a learned author, skillful statesman, cunning prankster, misled traitor, or blessed martyr. What can Shakespeare's contribution to a mysterious manuscript probing his worldly rise and fall teach us about the lens through which the Bard examines the English monarchy of his time, and political things in general?
