Early Works - 'Aesop's Fables', 'Letters Written to and for Particular Friends' and Other Works (Hardcover, New)
Series: The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Samuel Richardson

This is the first edition to assemble all of the earliest known
works by Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), one of the most influential
authors in the English tradition. Richardson's exercises in
conduct-writing, religious controversialism, anti-theatrical
polemic, occasional verse, literary criticism - and his popular and
surprisingly revealing edition of Aesop's Fables - resonate
throughout his later work while claiming ample legitimacy of their
own. Readers familiar with only Pamela, Clarissa and Sir Charles
Grandison will gain a fresh appreciation of the genesis of and the
historical and cultural complexities at work in these famous
novels, and readers new to Richardson will encounter an agile
writer who invites closer consideration. A lengthy introduction
situates the constituent works in Richardson's career as well as in
the period more broadly, and the extensive textual apparatus
records the bibliographical histories of the texts and their
treatment by their present editor.
