The 1800s saw the prominence of counterrevolutionary discourses and Hannah More contributed to them considerably through her political, religious, and moral works. This paper attempts to discuss one of More’s influential works, Cheap Repository Tracts, which anthologize extremely intriguing anecdotes and stories. Many stories included in Cheap Repository Tracts need attention, but I would like to focus on a story, which is titled The Two Wealthy Farmers, or the History of Mr. Bragwell. The story, The Two Wealthy Farmers characterizes two farmers, Worthy and Bragwell to show the triumph of moral wisdom and the correction of follies. In The Two Wealthy Farmers More shows her great literary ambition for moral educations and didacticism. More thought that her own didacticism was opportune as Britain had to cope with the disorder following the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary Wars at that time. More’s The Two Wealthy Farmers was a message sent to the British public; More recognized the value of order and moderation in the time of crisis.

The story, The Two Wealthy Farmers characterizes two farmers, Worthy and Bragwell to show the triumph of moral wisdom and the correction of follies. In The Two Wealthy Farmers More shows her great literary ambition for moral educations and didacticism.
