Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), the English writer and printer best
known for his epistolary novels, including Pamela (1740) and
Clarissa (1748), had preserved copies of his extensive
correspondence with a view to its eventual publication, and these
volumes, edited by Anna Laetitia Barbauld and first published in
1804, contain her selection from his papers. Richardson became a
printer's apprentice in 1706 and for the rest of his life managed a
successful printing business in addition to writing his highly
popular and influential novels. After the success of Pamela,
Richardson regularly corresponded with leading contemporary
literary figures including Henry Fielding and Samuel Johnson. The
letters provide fascinating insights into Richardson's life and
literary and social activities, as well as discussions of current
affairs. Volume 4 contains correspondence with (among others) Dr
and Mrs Delany and Thomas and Frances Sheridan, the parents of the
playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
