The enthralling biography of the woman writer who helped end the slave trade, changed Britain's upper classes, and taught a nation how to read. The history-changing reforms of Hannah More affected every level of 18th-Century British society through her keen intellect, literary achievements, collaborative spirit, strong Christian principles, and colorful personality. A woman without connections or status, More took the world of British letters by storm when she arrived in London from Bristol, becoming a best-selling author and acclaimed playwright and quickly befriending the author Samuel Johnson, the politician Horace Walpole, and the actor David Garrick. Yet she was also a leader in the Evangelical movement, using her cultural position and her pen to support the growth of education for the poor, the reform of morals and manners, and the abolition of Britain's slave trade. Fierce Convictions weaves together world and personal history into a stirring story of life that intersected with Wesley and Whitefield's Great Awakening, the rise and influence of Evangelicalism, and convulsive effects of the French Revolution. A woman of exceptional intellectual gifts and literary talent, Hannah More was above all a person whose faith compelled her both to engage her culture and to transform it. 538 Requires Boundless App. 600 10 More, Hannah,|d1745-1833. 600 17 More, Hannah,|d1745-1833.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00001148 648 7 1700-1899|2fast 650 0 Authors, English|y18th century|vBiography. 650 0 Authors, English|y19th century|vBiography. 650 0 Educators|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 7 Authors, English.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00821945 650 7 Educators.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00903702 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 4 Downloadable audio books. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 710 2 Boundless (Digital media service) |0_aBoundless_(Digital_media_service) 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0016424174|zFound on Boundless
