description: This dissertation provides the first comprehensive survey of the works of Robert Bolt. The highly prolific, versatile and successful modern British author is best known for his play about Sir Thomas More, A Man for All Seasons , and his screenplays for film epics such as Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and The Mission . Special permission to quote extensively from unpublished material such as film scripts and production notes enabled the author of this thesis for the first time to present and discuss Robert Bolt's complete oeuvre, particularly focusing on the generic differences between his works for stage, film and print, as well as on his thematic leitmotif of selfhood and individual integrity.
