The result of extensive archival investigation, this meticulously
researched book collects and describes for the first time the
extant literary manuscripts and letters of the celebrated
Bluestocking writer and Evangelical philanthropist Hannah More
(1745-1833). Participating in the ongoing recovery of
eighteenth-century women writers, Nicholas D. Smith's survey is an
indispensable reference work not only for More scholars but for
those researching the careers of many of her contemporaries.
Features include an extended narrative analysis of the manuscripts
that plots More's participation in the manuscript culture of the
period and contextualizes the individual entries in the index;
provenance details for the more substantial manuscript holdings in
British and North American repositories; and identification of
numerous autograph manuscripts and transcripts in public and
private collections. More than 1,500 letters in 95 locations in
Britain and North America have been inventoried and precise dates
and internal locators are supplied when known. More's letters, the
majority of which have never been published, are a largely untapped
source of primary materials for scholars and students researching
such diverse subjects as the literary activities and opinions of
the Bluestocking circle, women's conduct and education, publishing
and the book trade, the national debate over the abolition of the
slave trade, the rise of the Evangelical movement, the conservative
reaction to the American and French revolutions, and the Napoleonic
wars.
