Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), the English writer and printer best known for his epistolary novels, including Pamela (1740) and Clarissa (1748), had preserved copies of his extensive correspondence with a view to its eventual publication, and these volumes, edited by Anna Laetitia Barbauld and first published in 1804, contain her selection from his papers. Richardson became a printer's apprentice in 1706 and for the rest of his life managed a successful printing business in addition to writing his highly popular and influential novels ...

Shy and diffident in company, when addressing his friends on paper, Samuel Richardson was at ease, warm and direct. He enjoyed writing letters, and placed a high value on them as a means of deepening friendships. At his best, his letters have the ease of conversation among intimates, not the polished prose of an "author" concerned strictly with form or style. The letters in this volume have been selected from the period in which Richardson was writing his great novels. The editor has been at pains to select those letters or passages from letters that bear on the themes and characters of the novels, on his craftsmanship and literary judgments, and on his own personality. While Richardson returns again and again to certain topics, some letters or excerpts are included because they treat the same matter from a different point of view, or with new observations. The needs of the student and scholar have been uppermost in the mind of the editor, who has tried to include the most helpful texts, if at times at the cost of some repetition.

This fascinating study examines Samuel Richardson's letters as important works of authorial self-fashioning. It analyses the development of his epistolary style; the links between his own letter-writing practice and that of his fictional protagonists; how his correspondence is highly conscious of the spectrum of publicity; and how he constructed his letter collections to form an epistolary archive for posterity. Looking backwards to earlier epistolary traditions, and forwards, to the emergence of the lives-in-letters mode of biography, the book places Richardson's correspondence in a historical continuum. It explores how the eighteenth century witnesses a transition, from a period in which an author would rarely preserve personal papers to a society in which the personal lives of writers become privileged as markers of authenticity in the expanded print market. It argues that Richardson's letters are shaped by this shifting relationship between correspondence and publicity in the mid-eighteenth century.
