Hannah More: Sunday School, Education and Youth Work

Infed is a great website for information on the history of youth work. They explore issues related to informal education, lifelong learning and social action.

Click here to read about information on Hannah More - a Wesleyan philanthropist and educator who is considered to have set forth one of the first models for the modern Sunday School movement.

Here's the introduction:

"Hannah More was initially famous for her play writing and involvement in 'blue stocking' circles. Later her evangelicalism led her to philanthropy, writing popular religious tracts and to pioneering work in Sunday Schools. Here we examine her contribution and her involvement in the development of youth work."
