Note

Hannah More was an English religious writer and philanthropist. Historical re-evaluation in the 1990s of her political and religious writings has demonstrated that More ‘cannot be seen as merely the reactionary antithesis of Mary Wollstonecraft’ (Stott, ‘Patriotism and providence’, 39). Long taken for granted, she is being recognized as a unique public figure in late Georgian Britain.
