«... and reward him with that jewel, your virtue, which no riches, nor favour, nor any thing in this life, can make up to you.» (Pamela, Letter II) ~ Baptised #OnThisDay (exact date of birth is unknown): #SamuelRichardson (1689-1761), English novelist considered as one of the fathers of English novel, who expanded the dramatic possibilities of the novel genre by his invention and use of the letter form, the epistolary novel, and whose style and rather stoical, moralizing tone would become hallmarks of 18th-century fiction; for this reason, though, his novels have not fared quite as well as some of his contemporaries among modern-day audiences. ~ • Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded (1740, novel) • Clarissa; or, the History of a Young Lady (1747-48, novel) ~ «And now, Belford, I can go no farther. The affair is over. Clarissa lives. And I am. Your humble servant, R. Lovelace» (Clarissa, Vol. VI, Letter 257) ~ #birthday #Richardson #Pamela #Clarissa #PamelaOrVirtueRewarded #ClarissaOrTheHistoryOfAYoungLady #TheHistoryOfSirCharlesGrandison #SirCharlesGrandison #pamelaandrews #clarissaharlowe #epistolarynovel #englishnovel #book #novel #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #reading #read #booklove #bookoftheday #instabook #literature #bookclub #bookworm #epic #classic #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/B1VjEurge9Q/?igshid=1wtvubamg9ysz

Here's the part 5 of my Oxford World's Classics collection: 18th century, a.k.a. the age of the Enlightenment, of the Industrial Revolution and of the French Revolution. In literature, the first half of the century saw the rise of Neoclassicism (Swift, Pope) and English Novel (Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Smollett) in the UK; and the Enlightenment thinking influenced literature all over the Europe. Important philosophical novels like Voltaire's Candide was written in this century. The second half century saw the emergence of the Gothic literature (Walpole, Beckford), Sentimental literature (Sterne, Burney), and the literary criticism in the strict sense (Johnson) in England; Sturm und Drang (Goethe) in Germany; and the Pre-Romanticism in general. • Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe • Moll Flanders - Daniel Defoe • Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift • The Beggar's Opera and Polly - John Gay • The Major Works - Jonathan Swift • The Major Works - Alexander Pope • Pamela - Samuel Richardson • Joseph Andrews and Shamela - Henry Fielding • Roderick Random - Tobias Smollett • Tom Jones - Henry Fielding • Candide and Other Stories - Voltaire • The Castle of Otranto - Horace Walpole • The Vicar of Wakefield - Oliver Goldsmith • The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman - Laurence Sterne • A Sentimental Journey and Other Writings - Laurence Sterne • The Expedition of Humphry Clinker - Tobias Smollett • The Sorrows of Young Werther - Goethe • Evelina - Frances Burney • The Lives of the Poets - Samuel Johnson • Vathek - William Beckford ~ #18thCentury #DanielDefoe #HenryFielding #AlexanderPope #SamuelRichardson #JonathanSwift #RobinsonCrusoe #Voltaire #Candide #GulliversTravels #TomJones #TheSorrowsOfYoungWerther #Goethe #Gothic #Enlightenment #book #books #bookstagram #literature #classic #poetry #instabook #bookworm #bookish #reading #read #oxfordworldsclassics #classics #oxforduniversitypress #shelfie https://www.instagram.com/p/BsplRb4ngSB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ta91n9vqbdyj

“And pray, said I, walking on, how came I to be his Property? What Right has he in me, but such as a Thief may plead to stolen Goods?” -Samuel Richardson, Pamela 🦊 ➡️QOTD: What’s one genre outside of YA that you enjoy reading? 📚 🍄 🍁 It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted about classics! (I can hear the mass groans from here 😂) But these are a few of my Oxford edition classics! When I first started reading classics I got them wherever I could, but when I got to college I started to fine-tune my collection to get the most accurate story possible! I think it’s important when reading classics to make sure you’ve got a good edition, because sometimes publishers/family members of the authors actually end up editing the novels posthumously! I adored Pamela and Roxana, and I’m most excited to read A Simple Story by Elizabeth Inchbald! ☁️ 🍂 #asimplestory #elizabethinchbald #roxana #pamela #samuelrichardson #danieldefoe #hardtimes #charlesdickens #theromanceoftheforest #annradcliffe #classics #classicbooks #book #fiction #fantasy #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #youngadultfantasy #bookish #bibliophile #ravenclaw #booklover #booknerd #bookcover #bookworm #library #fall #autumn #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #emmareadsforfun (at University of Mary Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFir6ulIn-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ifnbk8y5optt

It really is incredible what you can find at a West London car boot sale. Here we have a second edition of Samuel Richardson’s epistolary novel, Pamela from 1741. Sure it’s in a sorry state with missing front cover and a dog-eared pages but it was a quid. If there’s any bookbinders/restorers out there who want to have a go at this, let me know. It deserves to survive. #ilovebooks #pamela #sheppertoncarbootsale #samuelrichardson (at Hampton, London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnyW--zBRxN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wagjgre3jmfv
