- 185: A Man For All Seasons - 16th Century
- ... in Bolt’s book, A Man for All Seasons. As I was reading this story I was thinking that it could probably apply to our day and age but that begged the question.

I believe that Bolt chose this man and his era because there things that he liked abut the ... into one of the archetype heroes. These three things I will touch upon in my seminar and I hope that my ideas will prove to be informative and enlightening. One of the main reasons that Robert Bolt probably chose 16th century Thomas More as his hero for A Man for all Seasons was that he liked his personality. By that I mean that as Bolt wrote about More, he discovered more and more things that he found admirable about the man. At the outset, Robert Bolt was looking for a person who had a strong idea of who he is because this is what Bolt thinks is necessary to be a hero and this is exactly the type of ...

In Lady Audley’s Secret, crimes logically emerge ... mirrored in Braddon’s tale as Audley Court, Sir Michael’s uncertainty when he first proposed to Lucy about her past, Lady Audley’s attempts to avoid any talk of her past, and of course, Robert’s grave warning to Lady Audley that he was on to her scheme.

Transcendentalists think nature is a product of the mind, and without the mind nature would not exist (Santayana 42). These ideas come from the Romantic traditions which originated in England. The Romantics believed in ... man is part of the universe of objects and things. His knowledge is confined to ideas. He is able to reason, and he can form ideas of the outer world of God, freedom, and immortality (Frost 53).
