Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), among the most important and
influential English novelists, was also a prolific letter writer.
Beyond its extraordinary range, his correspondence holds special
interest as that of a practising epistolary novelist, who thought
long and hard about the letter as a form. The Cambridge Edition of
the Correspondence of Samuel Richardson is the first complete
edition of his letters. The present volume contains his
correspondences with Dr George Cheyne and Thomas Edwards, linked
not only by their pronounced medical content but also by their
generally unguarded character. An early admirer of Richardson's
Pamela (1740-41), Cheyne elicits some of the novelist's most
significant statements concerning his own literary practice and
tastes. Edwards, an astute literary critic as well as notable
sonneteer, draws Richardson into expressing some remarkable
insights as a close reader of poetry and prose.
