		Richardson’s expressed emotion about these matters suggests that he was not immune to passions of various kinds within marriage, although evidence of such emotional life does not readily appear in his correspondence which has typically been the major source for his biographers.
		Oddly Richardson did not publish the second edition of volumes 3 and 4 in duodecimo until much later, on January 30, 1743, according to Sale’s dating, although he was in the process of preparing both the second and third editions of those two volumes at the very time.
		Arguably Richardson regarded sixth corrected edition of 1742 (which includes what was technically the third edition of volumes 3 and 4) as the definitive text of his novel, given its expensive octavo format, the high quality of its paper, and the costly illustrations.

	SAMUEL RICHARDSON - LoveToKnow Article on SAMUEL RICHARDSON
		Richardson tried to prevent its appearance, and, having failed, set about two volumes of his own, which followed in December, and professed to depict his heroine in her exalted conditiofl.
		But even this could not console Richardson for the popularity of the spurious brat whom Fielding had made his hero, and his next effort was the depicting of a genuine fine gentleman a task to which he was incited by a chorus of feminine worshippers.
		Richardson is sometimes styled the Father of the English Novel, a title which has also been claimed for Defoe.

	Samuel Richardson
		Proof of the relationship between Samuel and George was found in a memo written by Dr. George Colmer of Springfield where he wrote, "Mary married in Dec. 1872 her cousin Richardson, who was a son of young Sam Richardson, and a grandson of the old Sam Richardson".
		Samuel made quite a profit on this transaction, for this may have been land that he'd acquired by claim (for which he'd paid nothing); or it may have been purchased at a time when the going rate was 12 1/2 cents and acre.
		Samuel RICHARDSON was born 1780-1789,in Georgia, and died 1841-1844 in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.

	Pamela by Samuel Richardson
		She argues that Richardson has constructed Pamela as a virtuous character whose body and soul move as one and that to deny the body inevitably diminishes female authority.
		Because of this cultural influence, Richardson has Pamela learn that her identity is based on two distinct modes of behavior: "one teaching the value of bourgeois industry, the other establishing her aristocratic behavior" (490).
		According to Williams, Richardson believed that "every marriage ought to be, to a certain extent, unequal, being a partnership between a man and a woman, with the man as senior partner" (531).

		For Barbauld, as for many subsequent critics, Richardson's achievement was to create a new species of literary endeavour, which she described as a kind of “moral painting”.
		What distinguishes Richardson's three novels from those of his predecessors and contemporaries is an intense, and at times even obsessive, focus upon the private subjectivity of the novel's (often female) principal characters in order to present the reader with a series of moral reflections and lessons.
		Richardson's authorship of the letter was exposed and the distressed widow complained to his mother.

		Between 1740 and 1754 Samuel Richardson, a busy and successful printer in London, wrote three novels which were to have a major impact on European literature.
		Richardson did not seek his friends among the leading writers of his time, because he felt that they misapplied their genius.
		It is essential for a better appreciation of Richardson to find out with whom he did find his friends and acquaintances whose influence stimulated him to write his three novels by which he depicted the evolutionary growth towards his own distinctive and powerful vision of a new world.

		When he was 50 and established as a prosperous printer, Richardson was asked to compose a guide to letter writing.
		Richardson wrote two more long, epistolary novels, Clarissa Harlowe (7 vol., 1747–48), the tragic story of a girl who runs off with her seducer, regarded today as his best work, and The History of Sir Charles Grandison (7 vol., 1753–54).
		Although he was a verbose and sentimental storyteller, his emphasis on detail, his psychological insights into women, and his dramatic technique have earned him a prominent place among English novelists.

	Samuel Richardson
		Samuel Johnson praised Clarissa as "the first book in the world for the knowledge it displays of the human heart." Fielding admired Richardson's portrayal of character and was moved to compassion, terror, grief and astonishment by Clarissa (Fielding's letter to Richardson).
		Thus, though the epistolary technique of Clarissa did not survive in the mainstream of the English novel, it is currently acknowledged as a forerunner of the stream of consciousness technique and the interior monologue.
		These additions, Mark Kinkead-Weekes explains, "serve to emphasize the darker side of Lovelace, to throw light on the problem of Clarissa's ‘delicacy', and to underline the novel's moral teaching." If the revisions are intended to correct misreadings, the editor preparing the novel for a new publication is faced with a dilemma.

		Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), a printer by trade, was one of the most influential novelists of the eighteenth century.
		The country house and its estate which Richardson describes over the course of several letters is explicitly a mirror of his feminized hero’s virtuous mind.
		For Richardson, then, the country house is at once intensely modern and authoritively ancient; as the house and its landscape physically combine the old and the new, so modern social relations are combined with the traditions of the past.

		Richardson’s use of the Pauline letters is given a fresh look and his strategies regarding Colonel Morden in Clarissa offer a refreshing addition to scholarship that has not emphasized this important dimension.
		Richardson’s three novels, all of them very long even by eighteenth-century standards (indeed, they rival in length the Baroque French novels of seventeenth-century authors like Mademoiselle de Scudéry and La Calprenède), also kept many readers up in the wee hours of many a morning, burning their lamps as they pored through tome after tome.

		His father hoped Samuel would become a priest but the family lacked the means to educate him, so he became a printer's apprentice instead (and let us not forget, the words priest and printer look quite similar if you squint).
		Although it was popular, a contemporary of Richardson called Henry Fielding disliked it so much that he published a spoof called 'An Apology For The Life Of Mrs Shamela Andrews' in 1741.
		Samuel Richardson passed away on the 4th of July, 1761.

		Although this paper cannot accommodate a full discussion of Richardson’s deployment of pirate rhetoric in the 1753 tracts on Irish book piracy or in his novels, the following should be read in the context of his copyright tracts, tracts that bear the traces of modern international copyright.
		For our purposes, it is enough to say that Richardson reacted violently to the Irish misappropriation of six volumes of Sir Charles Grandison, producing two accusatory tracts that castigated the Irish for their "piracy." Meanwhile he encouraged his many correspondents to support his cause both among the literati and in political circles.
		In the tracts, Richardson manipulates images of piracy borrowed in part from the ancient romance, meanwhile claiming that "Never was work more the property of any man, than this is his" (2).

		Samuel Richardson, often in his own time compared to Shakespeare for universality, originality, and emotional truth, is generally acknowledged as the founder of a new school of novel writing in England.
		Richardson's novels, all epistolary, concentrate on the inner thoughts and states of the individual.
		The individual is, however, always involved in social relationships, and many scenes are presented dramatically; Richardson makes a number of references to tragic and comic drama of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

		It is a dark novel in which the heroine is imprisoned, psychologically tortured, drugged and raped by someone she had trusted.
		She was extremely class conscious and did not believe that middle-class Richardson should be writing about the aristocracy.
		I believe this author was never admitted into higher company [than of the lowest class] and should confine his pen to the amours of housemaids, and the conversation at the steward's table, where I imagine he has sometimes intruded, though oftener in the servants' hall....He has no idea of the manners of high life.

		Samuel Richardson's first novel, 1740's "Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded" is a clever and rich novel.
		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.
		Richardson would go on to further elaborate these themes in completely different social circumstances, and with a great deal more terror and anxiety in "Clarissa," but Pamela has its own distinct charms and appeal.
