À propos de l'auteur
Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) was a prominent English writer and printer who played a key role in the development of the novel as a literary form. Richardson's work often delves into themes of marriage, gender, and social conduct, often through epistolary narratives that bring an intimate, personal quality. His writing style has been characterized by detailed moral introspection, psychological depth, and a focus on character development over action-driven plots. Renowned works by Richardson include 'Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded' (1740), which set a precedent for the epistolary novel, and 'Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady' (1748), widely considered one of his masterpieces for its exploration of virtue and societal expectation. 'Sir Charles Grandison' (1753), his final novel, continued to display his adept handling of sentiment and moral inquiry. Although the referenced 'Regency Romance - Ultimate Collection' is not a recognized collection of Richardson's original works, his influence on the development of the romance genre is indubitable, especially in his portrayal of domestic life and the complexities of moral choices. Richardson's narrative techniques and in-depth character studies have earned him a lasting place in the pantheon of English literature, influencing later authors and shaping the development of the novel throughout the eighteenth century and beyond.
