Review
Anne Stott's biography manages tp provide a remarkably entertaining and readable account ... packed full of anecdote and fascinating historical insights. (

This excellent biography is a study in sexual politics as much as literary history. (
Peter Ackroyd, The Times )
Do we need another biography of a long-forgotten woman of moderate talents? The answer is an emphatic yes, and Anne Stott's engaging and highly readable book, Hannah More The First Victorian, aptly demonstrates the reason why. (
