Book Description
The young, virtuous Pamela Andrews is a servant girl in the employ of Mr. B, a wealthy landowner in 18th-century England. After the death of Mr. B's mother, he attempts to seduce Pamela, who, despite a cautious attraction, rebuffs him. Undeterred, he increases his advances, and Pamela struggles to maintain her dignity and moral compass. Pamela caused a sensation upon its initial publication. With its focus on class divides and women's limited rights, it addressed the challenges and issues of its time. Samuel Richardson intertwines drama, moral dilemmas, and the complexities of love in this tale of a young girl's struggle for self-respect and authenticity in a world dominated by power and hierarchies. SAMUEL RICHARDSON [1689-1761] was an English author. With his debut Pamela [1740], he created the first epistolary novel, which is one of the earliest variations of the classic novel and one of the most popular over the centuries to come. In addition to Pamela, he achieved great success with the novels Clarissa and The History of Sir Charles Grandison.

Anti-Pamela and Shamela
Author: Eliza HaywoodPublisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1770480714
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Published together for the first time, Eliza Haywood’s Anti-Pamela and Henry Fielding’s An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews are the two most important responses to Samuel Richardson’s novel Pamela. Anti-Pamela comments on Richardson’s representations of work, virtue, and gender, while also questioning the generic expectations of the novel that Pamela establishes, and it provides a vivid portrayal of the material realities of life for a woman in eighteenth-century London. Fielding’s Shamela punctures both the figure Richardson established for himself as an author and Pamela’s preoccupation with virtue. This Broadview edition also includes a rich selection of historical materials, including writings from the period on sexuality, women’s work, Pamela and the print trade, and education and conduct.
