For the Richardson scholar, the collection, in toto, provides unparalleled insights into the candid, often surprising views of the novelist and voluminous letter-writer … the material in the letters - which ranges from musings on the politics of Hanoverian and French lace to Lady Bradshaigh's detailed guide to managing servants - seems not just 'important' but at times revelatory. That dimension, along with the insights into Richardson and eighteenth-century literary culture make the volumes an essential resource not only for scholars of the author but for scholars of the period generally. In sum, this three-volume set is a model edition-from the detailed introduction that addresses editorial challenges to meticulous annotation and rich appendices.'

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 information on Irish issues, including the Dublin editions of his novels. The scholarly apparatus in this volume furnishes a wealth of material about these women's lives and their milieu, affording many insights into eighteenth-century English and Irish social and literary history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGeneral editors' preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e General introduction\u003cbr\u003e Volume 1: Richardson's correspondence with Lady Bradshaigh and Lady Echlin, 1748–53\u003cbr\u003e Volume 2: Richardson's correspondence with Lady Bradshaigh and Lady Echlin, 1754–7\u003cbr\u003e Volume 3: Richardson's correspondence with Lady Bradshaigh and Lady Echlin, 1758–62\u003cbr\u003e Appendices: 1.
