註釋In Samuel Richardson's day, critical response to his books ranged from ecstatic praise to condescension and condemnation. Twentieth-century critics have not only reassessed his work, but have closely examined his themes and techniques. The essays herein represent the dominant concerns of modern Richardsonian criticism, examining his output as a craftsman, psychological novelist, and commentator on the social and economic forces of his day. The enormous popularity of Richardson's Pamela and Clarissa during his lifetime attests to the author's craftsmanship and psychological awareness--two qualities which are fully examined in this critical study.
