About this title

Synopsis

Hannah More's "Cheap Repository" series consisted of a wide range of short stories, essays, and poems designed to promote moral values and Christian virtues among the poor and working-class population of Britain. The tracts covered various topics such as honesty, thrift, kindness, and piety, and they often featured simple, relatable characters and situations that readers could easily identify with. The stories in "Stories for the Young" aim to instruct and inspire readers to lead virtuous lives and adhere to Christian principles. They were widely distributed and became immensely popular during their time, contributing to Hannah More's reputation as a leading figure in the evangelical and philanthropic movements of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Today, Hannah More's "Cheap Repository" tracts are studied for their historical and literary significance, providing valuable insights into the religious and social attitudes of the time, as well as the efforts to promote moral education and social reform among the less privileged segments of society.
