Letters of Lady Jane Grey

Lady Jane Grey

Lady Jane Grey was sixteen when she began corresponding with the Zurich reformer Heinrich Bullinger; she was executed at seventeen. These writings — letters, a prison disputation, a prayer, and her words on the scaffold — are among the most remarkable documents of the English Reformation, composed by a young woman of extraordinary learning and settled faith facing death with unusual composure.
