Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was a prominent eighteenth-century
printer and businessman as well as an important and influential
English novelist. He was also a prolific letter writer. This volume
in the first ever full edition of Richardson's correspondence
offers a fascinating glimpse of the writer in his final years - at
the height of his professional powers but facing the challenging
circumstances of physical decline and commercial conflict. The
collection of miscellaneous letters addresses a variety of issues
ranging from details of Richardson's printing operation to his
mentorship of women writers including Sarah Fielding, Anna Meades
and Frances Sheridan. Other correspondents of note include Samuel
Johnson, Meta Klopstock, Thomas Sheridan and Tobias Smollett. Taken
together this series of letters draws an intimate picture of
Richardson's professional and personal circles as they exchange
family gossip, business advice, literary anecdotes and news of the
day.
