Questions of gender, sexuality, race, class, and selfhood come to the fore in this volume, which cements Richardson's relevance for 2025 and beyond.\" - Nicholas Seager (coeditor of The Afterlives of Eighteenth-Century Fiction) \"By situating Richardson in various contexts and approaches, this outstanding collection of essays will spark new critical conversations.

This fresh collection reconsiders his oeuvre, expanding and significantly updating critical debate on its meaning and importance. In these lively and engaging essays, contributors examine historically overlooked works, provide new readings of his best-known novels \u003ci\u003ePamela\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eClarissa\u003c\/i\u003e, and stake a serious claim for the importance of his final novel, \u003ci\u003eSir Charles Grandison\u003c\/i\u003e. Diverse, inventive, and provocative, these essays demonstrate the complexity, relevance, and surprising legacies of Richardson’s novels and characters—finding traces in post-conceptual poetry, detective fiction, and in the fantasies of historical romance. \u003ci\u003eRevisiting Richardson\u003c\/i\u003e reflects on a decade of scholarship while delivering innovative perspectives on an author whose work continues to be indispensable for understanding the history of the novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Published by Bucknell University Press.
