Table of contents

He was from a strong Presbyterian family in Norfolk, but had become a member of the Church of England , and originally intended to pursue a career in the Church, but after the disappointment of losing a lawsuit over an estate he had hoped to inherit, he moved to Bristol, where he became an excise officer and was later appointed to teach at the Fishponds free school. They were a close family and the sisters were first educated by their father, learning Latin and mathematics: Hannah was also taught by her elder sisters, through whom she learned French.

Her conversational French was improved by spending time with French prisoners of war in Frenchay during the Seven Years' War. In Jacob established his own girls' boarding school at Trinity Street in Bristol for the elder sisters, Mary and Elizabeth to run, while he and his wife moved to Stony Hill in the city to open a school for boys.

Hannah More became a pupil when she was twelve years old, and taught at the school in her early adulthood. In More gave up her share in the school after becoming engaged to William Turner of Tyntesfield , Wraxall, Somerset , whom she had met when he began teaching her cousins. Turner seemed reluctant to name a date and in the engagement was broken off. It seems that as a consequence, More suffered a nervous breakdown and spent some time recuperating in Uphill , near Weston-super-Mare. This set her free for literary pursuits, and in the winter of —74 she went to London in the company of her sisters, Sarah and Martha — the first of many such trips she made at yearly intervals.

Some verses that she had written on David Garrick's version of King Lear led to an acquaintance with the celebrated actor and playwright. Hannah More's first literary efforts were pastoral plays, written while she was teaching at the school and suitable for young ladies to act, the first being written in under the title of The Search after Happiness.

Hannah More

By the mids over 10, copies of this had been sold. Johnson is quoted as saying to her, "Madam, before you flatter a man so grossly to his face, you should consider whether or not your flattery is worth having. She later wrote a witty celebration of her friends and the circle to which they belonged, in her poem The Bas Bleu, or, Conversation , published in Garrick wrote the prologue and epilogue for Hannah More's tragedy Percy , which was acted with success at Covent Garden in December A copy of Percy was found amongst Mozart 's possessions in However a tragedy entitled "The Inflexible Captive" was published in At Bristol she discovered the poet Ann Yearsley and, when Yearsley became destitute, raised a considerable sum of money for her benefit.

More and Montagu held the profits in trust to protect them from Yearsley's husband. However, Ann Yearsley wished to receive the capital, and made insinuations of stealing against More, forcing her to release the money. These literary and social failures caused More's withdrawal from London's intellectual circles.

In the s Hannah More became a friend of James Oglethorpe , who had long been concerned with slavery as a moral issue and who was working with Granville Sharp in an early abolitionist capacity. These and the poems Bas-Bleu and Florio mark her gradual transition to more serious views of life, which were fully expressed in prose, in her Thoughts on the Importance of the Manners of the Great to General Society , and An Estimate of the Religion of the Fashionable World By this point she was intimate with William Wilberforce and Zachary Macaulay , with whose evangelical views she was in sympathy.

She published a poem on Slavery in , and was for many years a friend of Beilby Porteus , Bishop of London and a leading abolitionist , who drew her into the group of prominent campaigners against the slave trade such as Wilberforce, Charles Middleton and James Ramsay , based at Teston , Kent. She was a rapid writer, and her work is consequently discursive and animated, but lacking in form.

INFLEXIBLE CAPTIVE:

Her extraordinary popularity may be explained by the originality and force of her writings. On the outbreak of the French Revolution in , More was not initially worried, but by she was writing, "I have conceived an utter aversion to liberty according to the present idea of it in France. What a cruel people they are! The government was alarmed by its concern for the poor and its call for world revolution, plus its enormous sales.

Porteus visited More and asked her to write something for the lower orders, to counteract Paine. More wrote that it "is as a vulgar as [the] heart can wish; but it is only designed for the most vulgar class of readers. After reading Paine, Tom Hood expresses admiration for the French Revolution to Jack Anvil, and speaks in favour of a new constitution based on liberty and the "rights of man". Jack Anvil responds by praising the British constitution and saying that Britain already has "the best laws in the world".

He attacks French liberty as murder, French democracy as a tyranny of the majority, French equality as a levelling down of social classes, French philosophy as atheism, and the "rights of man" as "battle, murder and sudden death". The pamphlet finishes with Tom Hood accepting Jack Anvil's conclusion: "While old England is safe I'll glory in her, and pray for her; and when she is in danger I'll fight for her and die for her. It was well received: Porteus praised it as "a masterpiece of its kind, supremely excellent, greatly admired at Windsor ".

Dupont , condemned atheism in France. The profits from its sale went to French Catholic priests exiled in England. Porteus again requested her help in combating Paine's ideas, but she refused, being preoccupied with her charity-school work. In January , More explained to Zachary Macaulay: "Vulgar and indecent penny books were always common, but speculative infidelity brought down to the pockets and capacity of the poor forms a new era in our history.
