Margaret More Roper
Changes for Margaret's Page:

Eldest daughter of Thomas More

Daughter: Mary Basset who also published works

Tutored by father and William Gunnell in humanist tradition.

Translations promoted pro-Catholic stances, published translation against father's advice after his death.=

Mother's name was Joanna or "Jane" Colt.

Visited More during his imprisonment, allowed to by Cromwell in hope she would persuade him to take the oath. Actually smuggled things to and from him until 1543 where his health then deteriorated (Guy on more 41).

Roper took steps to clear More's name posthumously by hiring More's old secretary John Harris to collect and recreate his writings (49)

1528 Roper sent a gift of a Holbein portrait to Erasmus (61)

Letter to cousin Alice Alington (55)

Struggling with the relationship to More because they were so interlinked.

Should I have a separate section mentioning her relationship to her father instead of interspersing it throughout the article?

Should i include one of the most learned women of the 16th century.

Include the non-royal aspect of her education.

Separate relationship with More

Add sections on the reception of her work.

Translation work as a creative practice, most people were doing translations. Weighed in on political issues.

Erasmus v. Luther

Erasmus was essentially Lutheran

Roper could do things More could not because of his position

More's circle was in the private sphere
