	Amazon.com: Pamela : Or Virtue Rewarded (Oxford World's Classics): Books: Samuel Richardson,Thomas Keymer,Alice Wakely
		Pamela is a mid-teen waiting maid, and as the novel begins, the Lady she serves has just died.
		Written to entertain and edify readers of both sexes, "Pamela" is an epistolary novel, presented in the form of letters and a journal between young Pamela Andrews and her parents.
		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.

	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.
		Vauxhall Gardens boasted painted scenes from the novel as one of its attractions, there even was a Pamela fan, though none is known to survive to the present, and a set of waxworks.
		Pamela would become archetypal of a particular narrative strand of sentimental literature in which exceptional virtue – and it is important to note that Pamela's virtue is exceptional rather than typical of servants – is first cruelly tried, eventually rewarded and allowed to triumph even over such supposedly impenetrable barriers as social distinction.

		Fifteen years ago, when first-time novelist Pamela Duncan was working at the Intimate Bookshop, a friend gave her a copy of Lee Smith´s Oral History.
		Inspired by the prospect that she, too, could tell the stories of her family, Duncan began writing what eventually became Moon Women, a humorous and compelling Southern novel that will be published by Bantam Dell next spring.
		With such encouragement, Duncan persevered and recently sold Moon Women for enough money to quit her day-job and start work on a second novel.

	DVD Times - The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
		Robert Stephens as louche Teddy Lloyd, as willing to seduce young schoolgirls as Miss Brodie, Gordon Jackson as the doglike devoted Gordon Lowther, and Pamela Franklin as a sharp, perceptive Sandy, give fine performances, but this film is really a one-woman show.
		The primary extra is an audio commentary, from Ronald Neame and Pamela Franklin.
		Although the main action of both novel and film takes place over several years in the 1930s, Spark’s novel includes brief flashforwards to the girls’ later lives, as far ahead as the 1950s.

	BookPage Fiction Review: Plant Life
		Mentored by author Lee Smith, Pamela Duncan won fans and critical praise for her first novel, Moon Women, in 2001.
		A novel as much about personal strength and integrity as the daily lives of mill women, Plant Life beautifully captures the passage of two seasons in a small-town.
		From Laurel's high school sweetheart—who, of course, is now married to a former cheerleader—to the family neighbor who tenderly cares for Laurel's mother during an extended illness, Russell is populated by believable folks who are a far cry from the usual saccharine stereotypes.

	Books : Pamela: Or Virtue Rewarded (Oxford World's Classics) : reviews
		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 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'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.

	Epistolary novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The epistolary novel as a genre became popular in the 18th century in the works of such authors as Samuel Richardson, with his first novel Pamela (1740).
		The novel risked the genre's power of changing perspectives: individual points were presented with the individual correspondents, the central author's voice and moral judgement disappeared (at least in the first volume, her further volumes introduced a narrator's voice).
		Lewis used the epistolary form for The Screwtape Letters (1942), and considered writing a companion novel from an angel's point of view -- though he never did so.

	first novel
		There are prose tales that pre-date the novel, such as Boccacio's Decameron (1351), and the romances of Spenser and Malory, but the first fully-developed novel was Samuel Richardson's Pamela; or Virtue Rewarded (1740).
		The novel is differentiated from its predecessors by its internal cohesion, its emphasis on a tightly orchestrated plot and action, its realistic portrayal of characters and situations.
		The novel thus has its origin in the attempt to regulate writing, to propose a correct and decorous means of taming the potential dangers of the written word.
