Samuel Richardson 1689 - 1761 was an English writer and printer known for his epistolary novels. He printed almost 500 works including journals and magazines working periodically with the London bookseller Andrew Millar. Richardson had been apprenticed to a printer whose daughter he eventually married. He lost her along with five sons but remarried and had four daughters who reached adulthood but had no male heirs to continue the print shop. As it ran down he wrote his first novel at the age of 51 and joined the admired authors of his day. via Wikipedia Much like the Bertrams in Mansfield Park Jane Austen and her siblings were fond of putting on "theatricals" at home for their friends and neighbors. In 1793 at the age of eighteen Jane Austen began writing and shortly afterwards abandoned a dramatic adaptation of this work entitled "Sir Charles Grandison or the happy Man a comedy in 6 acts." She completed it in 1800. Extract copied into Volume 1: "Of all representations of madness says dr. Joseph Warton that of Clementina's is most deeply interesting. I know not whether even the madness of Lear is wrought up and expressed by so many little strokes of nature & passion - it is absolute pedantry to prefer and compare the madness of Orestes in Euripides to this of Clementina" Richardson has founded the excellence of his good characters entirely upon a Christian basis. He has exemplified the beautiful ideal of human nature -- the character of Clementina Sir Charles Grandison and Clarissa Harlowe are the most virtuous amiable accomplish'd and noble that can well be imagined -- they are supported with strict propriety & elevated by uncommon dignity -- and charm the reader while they command his admiration -- they show that mankind are truly happy only in proportion as they listen to the dictates of conscience and follow the path of duty --- where could Richardson a bookseller and a printer immersed in the occupation of his shop and his press acquire such a correct acquaintance with high life and refined society such exalted sentiments of religion honor love freindship and philanthropy as he has displayed in his works -- Where did he acquire such a command over our feelings such a power "to open the sacred source of sympathetic tears" The best answer to these questions is -- that he deriv'd those treasures from the rich resources of his own mind from the study of the bible and a quick insight into human nature & character. He has been justly styled "the great master of the human heart" -- "the Shakespeare of romance." -- Clarissa Harlowe -- & Sir Charles Grandison are long works because they are designed to develop the springs of human action and give a distinct view of the progressive various and complex movement of the human mind - Prolixity is made the pretext of the frivolous novel readers of the present age to neglect these invaluable works - alltho if they be weighed in the balance of literary justice they will be found to comprise as much if not more sterling excellence than half the novels that have been written since their publication." Transcribed from The Beauties of Christianity pp. 103-104 by Chateaubriand tr. 1813 Frederic Shoberl There is a dedication in the same hand as the extract _______ "from her dear mother" on the recto of the title facing page. The dedicatee's name has been scratched out. 1360300. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. John Donaldson hardcover

Clarisse Harlowe

178567202à Genève Geneva: Chez Paul Barde 1785. Fine. Chez Paul Barde à Genève Geneva 1785 13.30 x 20.80 cm 10 tomes en 10 volumes reliés First octavo edition in Letourneur's new translation illustrated with 21 fine figures by Chodowiecki and a frontispiece portrait by Pujos on strong paper. The figures printed before letters. The English original was published in 1748. Contemporary full porphyry sheep bindings. Smooth spines very richly decorated with ornamental compartments Greek fillets at head and tail fillets between compartments. Red morocco title label volume label with urn and garland in black morocco. Leather of upper joint of volume I narrowly split at head; slight lack at tail. Small leather lack at head of volume II revealing the board; lacks to joint at tail; lack to lower joint at head. Volume III: lower joint split at tail. Volume IV: lower joint split at tail. Volume V: upper joint narrowly split. Volume VI: Lower and upper joints with lacks at tail and narrow splits along the lower joint. Volume VII: Top of headcap rubbed and slightly worn. Volume IX: Upper joint split at head and top of headcap rubbed. Volume X: Lower joint open at head same at tail upper joint split at head. Some corners slightly bumped. No half-titles were bound in this copy. Fresh copy overall full-margined some engravings are shorter in right margin. Despite the mentioned defects superb set in rich decorative binding. Clarissa Harlowe is the second major novel published by the author after the immense success of Pamela; it is again a sentimental novel whose virtuous heroine finds herself forced by her family to marry a noble ugly and obese man against her will. She will flee with one Lovelace the very type of elegant villainous and deceitful libertine who desires to constrain her body and soul leading her into social and moral decline but this will be without counting on Clarissa's virtuous qualities. If the novel from a modern viewpoint suffers from sentimentalism and length it nonetheless remains true that the construction of the plot the dramatic twists and the psychology would durably mark European literature. Diderot would proclaim it in his Eloge de Richardson and numerous authors would claim it as influence or undergo its influence: Rousseau Jane Austen Choderlos de Laclos. Chez Paul Barde hardcover

Despite defects a handsome copy in a quality binding. Clarisse Harlove is the second great novel published by the author after the immense success of Pamela; it is again a sentimental novel whose virtuous heroine finds herself constrained by her family to marry a noble ugly and obese man against her will. She will flee with one Lovelace the very type of elegant villainous and deceitful libertine who desires to constrain her body and soul leading her into social and moral decline but this will be without counting on Clarisse's virtuous qualities. If the novel from a modern perspective suffers from sentimentalism and length it nonetheless remains true that the construction of the plot the dramatic twists and the psychology will durably mark European literature. Diderot will proclaim this in his Éloge de Richardson and numerous authors will claim it or undergo its influence: Rousseau Jane Austen Choderlos de Laclos. The work will enjoy immense success and even if due to its length the novel is little read today it remains one of the most emblematic books of 18th century literature. It should be noted that Diderot's essay in addition to the praise given to Richardson is a true plea for a new realistic literature his thesis joining that which he wrote for the theater.
