Title: Selected writings
Description: "In the first selection in decades made for the general reader from his collected works, this volume traces More's journey of moral conviction in his own words and writings. Drawing on a variety of More's late writings - the extraordinary "Tower Works," written in prison, his poignant last letters to his daughter Margaret, and his poems, private prayers, and devotional works - this collection will provide even readers lacking a background in Renaissance humanism or history with a rich introduction to a startlingly modern man of spiritual principle. Also included is the famous "Life of Sir Thomas More," written by his son-in-law, William Roper."--Jacket.
