Ann Yearsley and Hannah More, Patronage and Poetry

by Kerri Andrews

Published 1 January 2013

This study offers a timely and necessary reassessment of the careers of Ann Yearsley and Hannah More. Making use of newly-discovered letters and poems, Andrews provides a full analysis of the breakdown of the two writers' affiliation and compares it to other labouring-class relationships based on patronage.
