DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"This novel (published 1740) created an epoch in the history of English fiction, and, with its successors, exerted a wide influence upon Continental literature. It is appropriately included in a series which is designed to form a group of studies of English life by the masters of English fiction. For it marked the transition from the novel of adventure to the novel of character—from the narration of entertaining events to the study of men and of manners, of motives and of sentiments. In it the romantic interest of the story (which is of the slightest) is subordinated to the moral interest in the conduct of its characters in the various situations in which they are placed. Upon this aspect of the “drama of human life” Richardson cast a most observant, if not always a penetrating glance. His works are an almost microscopically detailed picture of English domestic life in the early part of the eighteenth century." -Preface

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.
