Richardson became a printer's apprentice in 1706 and for the rest of his life managed a successful printing business in addition to writing his highly popular and influential novels. After the success of Pamela, Richardson regularly corresponded with leading contemporary literary figures including Henry Fielding and Samuel Johnson. The letters provide fascinating insights into Richardson's life and literary and social activities, as well as discussions of current affairs. Volume 1 contains a biography of Richardson by Mrs Barbauld; this is followed by his correspondence with friends such as Aaron Hill and the Scots printer William Strahan.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eLife of Richardson\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence with Aaron Hill\u003cbr\u003e Letter from Mr. Warburton\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence with Mr. Strahan\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence with Mr. Harris\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence with Mr. Cave\u003cbr\u003e Letter from Lord Orrery\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence with the Rev.
