Autor

Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) was an eminent English writer and printer known for his epistolary novels which have significantly influenced the development of the novel as a literary form. He is best known for his three major novels, 'Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded' (1740), 'Clarissa; or, The History of a Young Lady' (1748), and 'Sir Charles Grandison' (1753). Richardson's writing was revolutionary for its time, emphasizing the private experiences and emotional lives of his characters, particularly focusing on women protagonists and their moral dilemmas. His novel 'Pamela' is considered one of the earliest precursors to the modern novel, celebrated for its detailed characterization and psychological depth. 'Clarissa' is noted for its exploration of social and family dynamics, while 'Sir Charles Grandison' is recognized for its moral didacticism and portrayal of the ideal gentleman. Richardson's work was a reflection of the virtues and sensibilities of the middle class, and his literary style helped shape the form of the novel, making it a vehicle for ethical discourse as much as entertainment. His narratives have been compiled in collections such as the 'Regency Romance Classics – Samuel Richardson Collection', which acknowledge his enduring legacy in the canon of English literature.
