Synopsis
The Complete Works Of Hannah More by Hannah More is a moralistic, satirical narrative in the form of a travelogue that surveys English upper-middle-class women and domestic life to illustrate what makes a suitable wife. Set in early 19th-century Britain—moving among the Priory in Westmorland, London society, and Stanley Grove in Hampshire—the work follows a devout bachelor narrator who tests prospective brides by observing families and everyday life. Through portraits of Mrs. Ranby, Lady Belfield, Mrs. Fentham, Lady Melbury, and the Stanleys, it contrasts worldly religiosity with practical Christianity, domestic leadership, and charity. At its center is Lucilla Stanley, a thoughtful, virtuous daughter whose character embodies cultivated intellect, piety, and tact, around whom a network of relatives and neighbors plays out debates about education, marriage, and virtue. The through-line champions a God-centered domestic life and parental prudence, culminating in a hopeful betrothal plan that harmonizes affection with shared faith. The excerpt also introduces Hannah More’s Essays for Young Ladies, outlining ideas on dissipation, conversation, true meekness, and moral formation.
