About This Item

London: T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies 1799. Small 8vo. Second Edition, Corrected (same year as first). 2 volumes. xix, 292; vii, 327, [1] pp. Half brown calf over brown boards with black title labels, gilt bands and lettering to spines. Minor rubbing to board edges and a few marks. Slight offsetting internally but otherwise clean. Hannah More was a religious writer poet who was a friend of Johnson and Garrick and also a member of the Bluestocking group; a controversial figure, she acted as a conservative and Christian opponent against the proto-feminism of some of her contemporaries like Mary Wollstoncraft and Anna Laetitia Barbauld, instead thinking women were unfit to hold public office and vote. Somewhat paradoxically she was also fierce abolitionist, and ran several schools for girls in the West Country. . Very Good. Half Calf. Second Corrected Edition. 1799.
