Excerpt from The Complete Works of Hannah More
So far at least our taste is reformed. And may we not venture to hope, from the affinity which should subsist between correct judgment and unadulterated principle, that our ideas of truth and manly integrity are improved also?
But it is time that I confine myself to the more immediate objects of the present address, in which, in avoiding the exploded evil I have been reprobating, I would not affectedly run into the Opposite, and perhaps prevailing extreme.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the vibrant world of 18th-century English society, exploring the role and impact of women of intellect and influence. Through a blend of poetry, essays, and insightful observations, the author paints a vivid picture of the cultural landscape, highlighting the rise of "conversation" as a powerful tool for intellectual exchange and social change. The author examines the decline of traditional pastimes like card games and the emergence of salons where women engaged in stimulating discussions on literature, philosophy, and even politics. This shift in social dynamics challenged the prevailing notion of female education, emphasizing the importance of cultivating not just outward accomplishments but also intellectual depth and critical thinking. By showcasing the contributions of remarkable women like Elizabeth Carter and Hannah More, the book underscores the vital role women played in shaping the intellectual and moral fabric of their time. It champions the idea that true fulfillment and societal progress stem not from superficial pursuits but from the pursuit of knowledge, meaningful conversation, and the cultivation of virtues like good nature, piety, and common sense.
