	Hannah More: Sunday schools, education and youth work
		Hannah More's philanthropic activities, her theories and practices as an educator, her involvement in pressure group politics, and her contribution to literacy studies are worthy of sustained attention.
		Hannah More believed a significant, perhaps the key, factor was the lack of religious knowledge among the poor and a lack of moral teaching.
		Hannah More could be said to have summed up the prevailing Evangelical attitude when she wrote: 'Action is the life of virtue, and the world is the theatre of action' (More 1808, quoted by Bebbington 1989: 12).

	Hannah More - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in 1745 at Fishponds, near Bristol, she was the fourth of the five daughters of Jacob More, who, though from a Presbyterian family in Norfolk, had become a member of the English Church, a strong Tory and a schoolmaster at Stapleton in Gloucestershire.
		Hannah More became a pupil when she was twelve years old, and taught there in her early adulthood.
		The More sisters met with a good deal of opposition in their works: the farmers thought that education, even to the limited extent of learning to read, would be fatal to agriculture, and the clergy, whose neglect she was making good, accused her of Methodist tendencies.

	Hannah More - Charlotte Mary Yonge
		Hannah More was born at Stapleton, near Bristol, on the 2nd of February 1745.
		She may be said to have made three reputations in the course of her long life: first, as a clever verse-writer and witty talker in the circle of Johnson, Reynolds and Garrick; next, as a writer on moral and religious subjects on the Puritanic side; and lastly, as a practical philanthropist.
		Perhaps the best proof of Hannah More's sterling worth was her indefatigable philanthropic work, her long-continued exertions to improve the condition of the children in the mining districts of the Mendip Hills near her home at Cowslip Green and Barley Wood.

	The World of Hannah More (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		More has no doubt become a relatively familiar figure, given recent feminist work in the area of eighteenth-century literary studies, but a figure familiar primarily as an example of the period's anti-feminist, anti-egalitarian values.
		Demers does not apologize for More's views, which are by many standards objectionable, but argues forcefully for assessing the significance of her work in terms of such things as the spiritual movements, debates about women's roles, and attitudes towards charity of her time.
		She thus portrays More as a `complex and conflicted' writer, a woman of `doubleness and contradictions' (Margaret Anne Doody's biography of Frances Burney seems to be a model for this approach).

		What's more, she adroitly manages alternating narratives, set a century apart, raising the level of suspense as the characters in each period approach the cusp on which a life turns, in parallel events that will irrevocably define the future for all of them.
		Narrator Hannah Gray is an elderly widow when she relates the circumstances of the summer when she fell in love with Conary Crocker, a charming young man from a poor family in Dundee on the coast of Maine.
		Between Hannah's recollections of that summer and her taste of first love, we see the story of the ghost and hear the tale of a crime perpetrated long ago on a nearby island.

		Hannah More was the first, and I trust the worst, of a large class— the ugliest of her daughters Hannah,' if I may parody a poet she affected to admire.
		It is characteristic of the unreality of Hannah More that she prefers Akenside to Cowper, despite the latter's superior piety.
		The most moving incident in Hannah More's life occurred near its close, and when she was a lone, lorn woman—her sisters Mary, Betty, Sally, and Patty having all predeceased her.

	Romantic Audience Project :: Hannah More vs. William Blake
		More's descriptions are corporeal, and the despair and pain seem to be shouting out of these carcasses with 'mangled flesh.' Part of this difference in tonality may be due to the gender of the narrators and similarly the authors.
		More's poem was a cheap tract, which was more easily accessible and directed to the lower classes in the interests of social and political order.
		More made sure to keep this woman in a socially appropriate position, mourning for her husband, children, and country as any good mother would do.

		Hannah's father, Jacob, was a schoolmaster here when she was born in 1745.

	H-Net Review: Susan Mitchell Sommers on In Praise of Poverty: Hannah More Counters Thomas ...
		She is chiefly concerned to identify More's writings as powerful, or at least highly valued, instruments of social control in the hands of English defenders of Church and king at the time of the French Revolution.
		More is particularly concerned that her intended audience, the literate poor, find contentment in their poverty, moderated as it surely is by the benevolence of their social superiors and the superiority of the government that rules over them.
		Scheuermann points out that this is precisely the message More delivers in her writings on the education of girls, suggesting that both women are participating in a common mainstream of middle-class thought, rather than articulating extreme views from opposite ends of the political spectrum.

	Hannah More, "On the Danger of Sentimental or Romantic Connexions" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In this essay, More is concerned to warn young ladies against the temptation to enter into "sentimental connexions," which are merely euphemistically presented liasons.
		She describes in detail the strategies of young men who set out to ensnare "sentimental girls," and paints a vivid picture of the unhappy marriage that is sure to result from such a seduction.
		Throughout the work, she bitterly satirizes the lofty language of sentimental speech and writing, suggesting that the phenomenon of the "sentimental girl" is based on affectation and false refinement.

	S. Webb: Scripting Class in Hannah More's The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain
		More and other Evangelical reformers were intensely concerned about the wide dissemination of radical ideas (particularly those of Thomas Paine), and their potential to produce discontent among the poor and social unrest.
		In this way, there is an intimate connection in More's literary project between discursive and social space, and this relates, ultimately, to the kind of social organization she envisioned.
		The use to which the shepherd puts writing here is ultimately the kind of literacy More wants to bring to the poor: a working class self-consciousness that remains deferent to authority, virtuous and Godly, grateful to the rich for their patronage, and accepting of poverty.

		Their catch might be more abundant, if the net were woven tighter so the smaller, slipperier sinner could not slide through.
		Such souls, having happily escaped entanglement, plunge back again into their native element, enjoy their escape, and hope for time to grow bigger before they are in danger of being caught.
		Yet, though he earnestly desires to serve Him, it is lamentable that he is not more attentive to remove all that hinders him by trying to avoid the inferior sins, resisting the lesser temptations, and by practicing the smaller virtues.
