description: Moral Essays is a collection of four outstanding poems by Alexander Pope. Written as epistles to various people, the poems comment on four key topics of social morality--the character of men, the character of women, the use of riches, and the virtue of taste. In each poem, Pope describes the importance of understanding the Ruling Passion, a concept he first explored in his great poem, An Essay on Man. This book is the second in a 10-book collection of the complete poems of Alexander Pope being published by Kudzu House.
