Where can I find out more about Alice More/Middleton nee Harpur, please? I have just read R. W. Chambers' biography of Sir Thomas More and Alice simply disappears from the account just prior to his execution.
There is a very short entry on Alice More on the Oxford DNB. The author of the piece, Retha Warnicke, has discussed Alice elsewhere, in the article: ‘Inventing the Wicked Women of Tudor England: Alice More, Anne Boleyn, and Anne Stanhope’, Quidditas: Journal of the Rocky Mountain Medieval and Renaissance Association 20 (1999), pp. 11-30.
In the Oxford DNB entry for Alice, Warnicke gives the following sources that you may wish to examine:
R. Norrington, In the shadow of a saint: Lady Alice More (1983). R. Warnicke, ‘The harpy in More's household: was it Lady Alice?’, Moreana, 22 (1985), pp. 5–13. W. Roper, ‘The life of Sir Thomas More’, Two early Tudor lives, ed. R. Sylvester and D. Harding (1962)
