The Cambridge Edition of the Correspondence of Samuel Richardson is the first complete edition of his letters. These three volumes contain his correspondence, much of it published for the first time, with two fascinating women: Dorothy, Lady Bradshaigh (1705-85) and her sister Elizabeth, Lady Echlin (1704-82). Lady Bradshaigh was Richardson's most prolific and important correspondent, challenging him about a range of issues, literary and otherwise, including his intentions for Clarissa and Sir Charles Grandison, in an iconoclastic style. Lady Echlin lived in Ireland for much of her life and provided Richardson with much information on Irish issues, including the Dublin editions of his novels. The scholarly apparatus in this volume provides ample information about these women's lives and their milieu, affording many insights into eighteenth-century English and Irish social and literary historyTable Of ContentsVolume 1. 1748-1753
