汉娜·莫尔(Hannah More )是一名英格兰宗教作家、慈善家、诗人、剧作家,她是当时伦敦社交界、文艺圈里的名人,蓝袜子的领袖。
早年
她出生于布里斯托尔鱼塘区(Fishponds),是当地一所学校校长雅各布·摩尔(1700-83)的第四个女儿(共五个)。她的父亲是她的启蒙老师,教会了她拉丁语和数学,她的姐姐们又教过她法语。
]]
她在1773年冬和姐姐们一起前往伦敦,在那里结识了塞缪尔·约翰逊、约书亚·雷诺兹和爱德蒙·伯克等当时文艺界的精英。约翰逊其实不太喜欢她,认为她太过奉承别人,还是一个蹩脚诗人。她参加了蓝袜子运动,是伊丽莎白·蒙塔古沙龙的座上宾,并在那里结识弗朗西斯·博斯科文、伊丽莎白·卡特、伊丽莎白·维西和赫斯特·沙蓬。
她的剧作在伦敦获得了成功,其《珀西》在1777年12月于皇家歌剧院上演,大卫·加里克为这部作品写了开场白和谢幕词。
她在伦敦的生活并不顺利,1785年她在萨默塞特郡北部的灵顿买下一栋别墅,和姐妹玛莎开始避世的隐居生活。在那里,她写成了《寻找妻子的科勒布斯》(Coelebs in Search of a Wife)等多部作品,并在那里去世,葬在当地的诸圣教堂中,留下的遗产捐给了教会和慈善机构。
