In this, Hannah More's only novel and an early nineteenth-century
best-seller, More gives voice to a wealthy twenty-three-year-old
bachelor, who styles himself "Coelebs" (unmarried), but seeks a
wife. After the death of his father, Coelebs journeys from the
north of England to London, where he encounters a fashionable array
of eager mothers and daughters before he visits the Hampshire home
of his father's friend, Mr. Stanley. Lucilla Stanley, Mr. Stanley's
daughter, is both an intellectual and a domestic woman, and
Coelebs' ideal partner. In this intelligent novel about the meeting
of two minds, More shows the ways in which a couple becomes truly
"matched" as opposed to merely "joined."Along with a critical
introduction, this Broadview edition includes a wide selection of
historical documents, from reviews, imitations, and sequels of
Coelebs in Search of a Wife to related contemporary writings on
conduct, courtship, and women's education.
