		By the mid-century, Samuel Richardson's Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded (1740) had become enormously popular throughout Europe and was tremendously influential on all the various art disciplines.
		Pamela is in the servant in the house of B-, and it becomes quite clear early in the novel she is one of exceptional character.
		After a series of awkward episodes, Pamela earns her master's respect by way of her letters (which he secretly reads) and her steadfast unwillingness to submit to his amorous advances out of wedlock.

	Pamela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded is an epistolary novel by Samuel Richardson, first published in 1740.
		It tells in the first person the story of the virtuous lady's maid Pamela and the modest and agonized delicacy, yet determination, with which she rebuffs and reforms her aristocratic would-be seducer Mr B and is rewarded with marriage to him.
		Told through Pamela's probingly introspective letters and diary, Pamela is widely considered a seminal influence on the direction the novel form was to take towards psychological analysis and self-examination.

	Pamela: Or Virtue Rewarded (Oxford World's Classics) : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		Pamela is a novel written in the form of letters and, as in the case of many other stories, is essentially about overwhelming good overcoming evil despite boundaries in class, strength and power.
		Pamela is the heroine of the novel and the waffly chatterbox writer of these letters, an extraordinarily beautiful girl of 15, with maturity of mind, a humble heart and a good soul.
		Pamela's relentless pursuer, Mr B, is seen as the highest authority in her eyes, whilst the reader can see he is some thing of a country bumpkin and shamefully proud.

		Pamela Andrews is a young maidservant in a wealthy household.
		The son of the household conceives a passion for her and repeatedly schemes with his servants to have his way with her but she protects her virtue successfully and the young man is forced to propose to her if he is to have her.
		To Richardson, virtue was a question only of whether the lady was married or not, and the villainy of the son disappeared as soon as the vows were exchanged.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Pamela: or, Virtue Rewarded
		Pamela fleshed out the bare bones of the original correspondence into an intriguing, complex two-volume epistolary novel, concerned with issues of marriage, morality, virtue, love and the restraints that social status impose upon individual behaviour and subjectivity.
		As a favourite of her mistress, Pamela has been moderately educated in writing, keeping accounts and needlework, and feels that such supposed advantages disadvantage her in the female labour market in which such skills are largely superfluous.
		In one of her most powerful acts of defiance towards B., Pamela disregards the fine suit of clothes given to her in, favour of a homespun gown and petticoat which constitutes a visual symbol of their different social stations and the extent to which B. demeans himself in pursuing her.

	Rachel Mullis: Writing
		Pamela is aware of the powerlessness inherent in being female, and this is why she guards what power she does seem to possess – her virtue – religiously.
		Pamela is then, in some ways, elevated to the level of an affluent male writer, or rather, to the level of dominant social hegemony.
		By Wollstonecraft’s definition, Pamela’s virtue is device used to secure her a marriage to a man she does not truly love independently of his ability to secure her a good place in society.

	Samuel Richardson
		The second noteworthy result of Pamela was Pamela's Conduct in High Life (September 1741), a spurious sequel by John Kelly of the Universal Spectator.
		Upon the title page of this, of which the mission was as edifying as that of Pamela, its object was defined as showing the distresses that may attend the misconduct both of parents and children in relation to marriage.
		The heroine, no longer an opportunist servant-girl, is a most pure, refined and beautiful young woman, invested with every attribute to attract and charm, while her pursuer, Lovelace, the libertine hero of the book -- a personage of singular dash and vivacity, in spite of his worthlessness -- is drawn with extraordinary tenacity of power.

	Pamela, the novel
		Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded appeared in two volumes in November 1740 and soon turned into what we nowadays call a "best-seller," the first example of that phenomenon in the history of English fiction.
		Pamela has had significant impact on the novel as a literary genre, as an experiment in epistolary form, as a study of ethics, human (and particularly women's) psychology, and as a case of early negotiation between literature as education and literature as entertainment.
		The 'letter-writer' had been a minor genre of popular literature for over a century, and it was customary for their authors to indulge in a certain amount of character-drawing and humor, especially in capturing the speech of the country folk and the working classes.

		Pamela is a mid-teen waiting maid, and as the novel begins, the Lady she serves has just died.
		There are many noteworthy issues in "Pamela," first of all being the figuration of the word "virtue." In the context of the novel, and its main character, the word has gender connotations, which align virtue with chastity and marriagability.

		Pamela is an infuriatingly self-righteous pricktease who can't seem to understand why her master, a disguting mysoginist, gets excited every time she flirts with him.
		His novel "Pamela" serves an explicit purpose, announced on its title page as intending "to cultivate the Principles of Virtue and Religion in the Minds of the YOUTH of BOTH SEXES [sic]," and this self-righteous statement invokes a suspicion, almost a conviction, that the book's value is instructional rather than literary.
		B, but since Pamela is the focus and the voice of the story, it almost seems that the burden of remaining virtuous is being placed on her and not on her immoral aggressor, who knows better but thinks his privileged social status gives him license to do as he pleases.

		She was called a model of female virtue, a conniving slut, and everyting in between, and plenty has been written on all sides of the question.
		The basic story is this: Pamela is a servant girl (a very virtuous one, as she will tell you again and again), and her master repeatedly seeks to destroy that virtue, through a variety of devious, occasionally outlandish tricks.

	Pamela Virtue Rewarded Essays - Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded - Sexuality and the Morally Didactic Novel
		The radical stance of even using phrases such as virtue and 'fortune' to denote Pamela's virginity are themselves loaded with a questioning of the social stratification in which she resides.
		Pamela is explicitly placing value in her 'protestant ethic' rather than her social standing, it being "more pride to [her] that [she] come of such honest parents, than if [she] had been born a lady" (Pamela 48) and in the same letter looking disparagingly on her fellow 'servants.'
		Rather than placing the prevention of exploitation in the virtue of the weak and the immorality of the strong (an equation equally absurd to class and economic structure in any century, and the central criticism of Pamela), Sade invokes social controls, lest we release the sadistic demons he presents in his later dungeons.

	In what ways does Pamela challenge received notions of literary heroism
		Pamela was also unusual, in her time, for being a complex and three-dimensional female hero.
		Pamela's experience is portrayed, in true Puritan fashion as a 'trial in the fire', an experience which will reveal her true character to her, and which will lead her to trust God only.
		By this means, Pamela, despite her weakness, her immobility and lack of action, is able to be presented as possessed of true heroic qualities - qualities which offer a challenged to those traditionally accepted ideals of literary heroism.

		Pamela is a truly innocent girl who thinks and acts as a typical 18th century servant girl.
		Readers, then, must decide whether Richardson meant Pamela's actions to be taken literally as proof of her divine goodness or mocking contempt at the then "accepted" stereotype of a woman who had no choice but to play by the rules of a game even when those rules were stacked against her.

		PAMELA should be sensitive enough to detect the slight excess of antiparticles that would be produced by collisions with one type of dark-matter candidate, generally known as a WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle).
		Although they have never been produced on Earth, the enormous speeds of some cosmic rays produce collisions that cannot be achieved in manmade particle accelerators, so it's the best place to look for their signature, says Menn.

		So intense was the Pamela vogue and its surrounding quarrels that one contemporary wrote of a world divided ‘into two different Parties, Pamelists and Antipamelists’, as though the sensational political developments of the day themselves had somehow been eclipsed.
		Although the significance of the Pamela controversy has long been recognised, many of the key sources exist in only a handful of scattered copies, and have not been widely available to scholars or students.
		Among the longer works included are Eliza Haywood’s brilliant appropriation of Pamela in her Anti-Pamela; or, Feign’d Innocence Detected, and the spurious continuation by John Kelly, Pamela’s Conduct in High Life, which forced Richardson to write his defensive sequel of 1741.
