Biographical History
Hannah More, one of five sisters, taught at her family's school in Bristol, England. She became prominent in London's Bluestocking circle from 1774 onward, and was also a friend of Samuel Johnson. Her work soon moved from poetry and drama to the production of numerous popular religious books and tracts. In 1789, she moved to Mendip, Somerset, where she and her sister Patty founded several schools. In 1801, she and her sisters moved to the Barley Wood estate in nearby Wrington.
Hannah More was a successful and influential English author, educator, and reformer. With her four sisters she co-founded Misses More's Girls' School, quickly recognized as one of the best in England. She published stories to great success, and spent time in London, where she was encouraged to write several successful plays. She became part of London's literary circle, meeting Samuel Johnson, the Burkes, Sara Siddons, David Garrick, the Bluestockings, and many others. She continued to write in a variety of genres, including poetry, novels, philosophy, criticism, and essays, and to support charities and reform causes, notably women's education and the abolition of slavery.
