Abstract
And yet beside all the faults that [Saint German] bringeth in under “some say” and “they say,” some that himself sayth without any “some say” be such as some say that he can never prove, and some, they say, be plain and open false.Sir Thomas More, The ApologyDespite the attention that has been devoted in the last fifty years to Sir Thomas More's account of Richard III, both in terms of texts and interpretation, the difficulties that surround that baffling work continue to perplex and tease the reader—at least this reader. As A. F. Pollard observed in 1933, the problems relating to it are manifold: its authorship, its sources, the date of its composition, the circumstances of its publication, the relation of the English to the Latin versions, the absence of any original autograph, the variations in the printed texts, the motive of its conception, and the reason for its unfinished state and abrupt termination.
