Description
Samuel Richardson in Context provides a comprehensive understanding of the life and work of one of English literature's most celebrated novelists. This collection of essays situates Richardson within his social, intellectual, and material contexts to reveal his centrality to the emergence of the novel, the self-help book, and the idea of the professional author. By examining Richardson's influence on the development of the modern English language, the capitalist economy, and gendered, medicalized, urban, and national identities, this volume enables a fuller understanding and appreciation of his life, work, and legacy. This book is an essential resource for scholars and readers seeking to deepen their knowledge of Richardson's significance in English literary tradition.
