This volume presents a selection of works by Samuel Richardson, accompanied by a prefatory chapter of biographical criticism by Leslie Stephen. Stephen, a prominent figure in English literary criticism, offers insights into Richardson's life and its influence on his literary output. Richardson (1689-1761) was an English writer and printer known for his three epistolary novels: "Pamela; Or, Virtue Rewarded" (1740), "Clarissa; Or, the History of a Young Lady" (1748), and "Sir Charles Grandison" (1753). Stephen's critical analysis provides valuable context for understanding Richardson's contributions to the development of the novel. This book offers a blend of primary literary works and insightful biographical interpretation, making it an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts of 18th-century English literature.
