Published together for the first time, Eliza Haywood's Anti-Pamela
and Henry Fielding's An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela
Andrews are the two most important responses to Samuel Richardson's
novel Pamela. Anti-Pamela comments on Richardson's representations
of work, virtue, and gender, while also questioning the generic
expectations of the novel that Pamela establishes, and it provides
a vivid portrayal of the material realities of life for a woman in
eighteenth-century London. Fielding's Shamela punctures both the
figure Richardson established for himself as an author and Pamela's
preoccupation with virtue. This Broadview edition also includes a
rich selection of historical materials, including writings from the
period on sexuality, women's work, Pamela and the print trade, and
education and conduct.
