About this title

Synopsis

Samuel Richardson was one of the most prolific printers of the 18th century, and, with his writing and publication of his epistolary novels Pamela, Clarissa, and Sir Charles Grandison, became one of the most influential figures in the history of the novel. Even several decades after its original publication, Eaves and Kimpel's biography is still the standard look at the life of this great man.
