Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was born in Derbyshire, the son of a joiner. He received little formal education and in 1706 was apprenticed to a printer in London. Thirteen years later he set himself up as a stationer and printer and became of the leading figures in the trade. He printed political material, newspapers and literature. He began writing Pamela as a result of a suggestion from friends that he should compile a book of model letters for use by unskilled writers. Pamela was a great success and went on to write Clarissa, one of the masterpieces of European literature.
Fifteen-year-old Pamela Andrews, alone and unprotected, is relentlessly pursued by her dead mistress’s son. Although she is attracted to young Mr B., she holds out against his demands and threats of abduction and rape, determined to defend her virginity and abide by her own moral standards. Psychologically acute in its investigations of sex, freedom and power, Richardson’s first novel caused a sensation when it was first published, with its depiction of a servant heroine who dares to assert herself. Richly comic and full of lively scenes and descriptions, Pamela contains a diverse cast of characters, ranging from the vulgar and malevolent Mrs Jewkes to the aggressive but awkward country squire who serves this unusual love story as both its villain and its hero.
This edition incorporates all the revisions made by Richardson in his lifetime. Margaret A. Doody’s introduction discusses the genre of epistolary novels, and examines characterization, the role of women and class differences in Pamela.

评分标准的言情,我看的版本比这老多了,翻译很一般。老实说,当初看得很勉强。倒不是说剧情不精彩或人物过分老土僵硬,我对言情向来是很宽容的。只是这本总是缺点什么,男主角做得太过分,逼得太紧;女主又十分坚定不拔,或许我是女生,只觉得她对于男主角的好感在后期已被磨灭的...
评分纯粹是一时兴起,奥斯汀看多了这类小说,抱着瞧瞧的心态。我看书向来是乱翻,只用了半个下午,所以没有评论的资格。简单说感受吧。译者前言就把兴趣打掉一半,当然对作者人生那是肃然起敬。身为三大印刷厂主之一的作者作为学徒后来娶了厂主的女儿获得人生的成功第一步。我对这...
