Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was an established master printer
when, at the age of 51, he published his first novel, Pamela, and
immediately became one of the most influential and admired writers
of his time. Not only were all Richardson's novels written in
epistolary form: he was also a prolific letter-writer himself. This
volume in the first ever full edition of Richardson's
correspondence includes his letters to and from Aaron Hill, the
poet, dramatist and entrepreneur (1685-1750). Hill was Richardson's
earliest literary friend and advisor as he embarked on a new career
as a novelist. This correspondence offers fascinating insight into
the compositional processes not just of the two Pamela novels, but
of Richardson's later novels Clarissa and The History of Sir
Charles Grandison. The volume also contains Richardson's
correspondence with Hill's three literary daughters, which forms an
invaluable chapter in the history of women's writing and literary
criticism.
