| Summary: | In the early 1530s, John Rastell, the barrister, printer, and kinsman to Sir Thomas More, converted from the orthodox beliefs of his family to become a religious and political reformer in the service of Thomas Cromwell. There survive a few, somewhat vague references to books written and printed by Rastell in support of the "king's causes," but until this time, students of the More circle have believed that these books had perished if they were really printed at all. This essay shows that in fact one such work did issue from Rastell's press and does exist, A dyaloge betwene Clemente and Bernarde. There are, furthermore, reasons to suggest that John Rastell was its author. |
