About

Austen's friends were 'reading with delight Mrs. H. More's recent publication'.

Evangelical author Hannah More, far more popular than Jane Austen, helped reform her society's moral values and promoted education for women and the poor and abolition of slavery. Why is Hannah More forgotten today, while Austen still delights readers around the world?

Brenda S. Cox will compare and contrast these authors, concluding with a book signing for Fashionable Goodness: Christianity in Jane Austen's England. Regency costume very welcome but not mandatory.
