"One special point of interest about it is, that it presents us with the first separate biography [of Wolsey] in the English language. But for it, we should have but a very imperfect idea of one of the most remarkable figures in English history. Chroniclers, historians, and dramatists have alike been indebted to it in writing of Wolsey" (Morris, from his Foreword). Peterson A14.
