Samuel Richardson
Pamela
Summary
This novel is told in a series of letters from the heroine, Pamela Andrews, a young low-born maid whose mistress has just died when the story opens. The lady's son, Mr B, attempts to seduce Pamela. Although Pamela finds him loathsome and leaves the house, he pursues her relentlessly. This is a work of pioneering psychological complexity; it is also a study of power and its abuse.
