Selected Letters of Samuel Richardson
Author: Samuel Richardson
Publisher: Oxford : Clarendon Press
ISBN:
Category : Authors, English
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Shy and diffident in company, when addressing his friends on paper, Samuel Richardson was at ease, warm and direct. He enjoyed writing letters, and placed a high value on them as a means of deepening friendships. At his best, his letters have the ease of conversation among intimates, not the polished prose of an "author" concerned strictly with form or style. The letters in this volume have been selected from the period in which Richardson was writing his great novels. The editor has been at pains to select those letters or passages from letters that bear on the themes and characters of the novels, on his craftsmanship and literary judgments, and on his own personality. While Richardson returns again and again to certain topics, some letters or excerpts are included because they treat the same matter from a different point of view, or with new observations. The needs of the student and scholar have been uppermost in the mind of the editor, who has tried to include the most helpful texts, if at times at the cost of some repetition.

The Cambridge Companion to the Eighteenth-Century Novel
Author: John Richetti
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521429450
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
In the past twenty years our understanding of the novel's emergence in eighteenth-century Britain has drastically changed. Drawing on new research in social and political history, the twelve contributors to this Companion challenge and refine the traditional view of the novel's origins and purposes. In various ways each seeks to show that the novel is not defined primarily by its realism of representation, but by the new ideological and cultural functions it serves in the emerging modern world of print culture. Sentimental and Gothic fiction and fiction by women are discussed, alongside detailed readings of work by Defoe, Swift, Richardson, Henry Fielding, Sterne, Smollett, and Burney. This multifaceted picture of the novel in its formative decades provides a comprehensive and indispensable guide for students of the eighteenth-century British novel, and its place within the culture of its time.
