Samuel Richardson

    19. srpen 1689 – 4. červenec 1761

    Samuel Richardson byl klíčový anglický spisovatel 18. století, proslulý svými romány psanými formou dopisů. Ve svých dílech zkoumal hlubiny lidské psychiky a morální dilemata, přičemž mistrně využíval korespondenci k odhalování vnitřních světů postav. Jeho inovativní přístup k narativu a soustředění na intimní zkušenosti čtenáře vtahovaly do složitých společenských a etických otázek své doby. Richardsonovo dílo představuje významný milník v rozvoji realismu v anglické literatuře.

      Fifteen-year-old Pamela Andrews, alone in the world, is pursued by her dead mistress's son. Although she is attracted to Mr B, she holds out against his demands, determined to protect her virginity and abide by her moral standards Psychlologically acute in its explorations of sex, freedom and power, Richardson's first novel caused a senastion when it was published. Richly comic and lively, PAMELA contains a diverse cast of characters ranging from the vulgar and malevolent Mrs Jewkes to the agressive but awkward country squire.

      Pamela
    • A tale of seduction and 'Virtue Rewarded', this early epistolary novel tells of the maidservant Pamela, abducted and abused by her master before she eventually falls in love with him. Although Pamela was a bestseller and became hugely influential, it caused a scandal on its publication in 1740; not for the plotline of kidnap and attempted rape, but for Richardson's idea that social and class roles could be overcome by morality and love.
