- W199894482 abstract "It has taken half a century for a biography of Samuel Richardson to appear that is on the scale of Wilbur Cross's Fielding and Sterne. Richardson has not lacked dedicated scholars. A. D. McKillop has devot? ed a large part of a long and distinguished career to locating Richardson at a correct latitude and longitude. His many articles have filled in areas of both life and works, and his Samuel Richardson: Printer and Novelist (1936), though primarily a study of the literary works, has been for thirty years the fullest biographical treatment. William M. Sale's Samuel Rich? ardson: A Record of His Literary Career with Historical Notes (1936) and Samuel Richardson, Master Printer (1950) supplied much of the necessary data for a full-scale biography. T. C. Duncan Eaves and Ben D. Kimpel, who over the last decade have contributed important articles on biographical and textual problems, have now gathered all of the extant materials, and much more, to construct the book for which we have been waiting. It is an excellent biography, directed largely to the specialist but a useful reference volume to be dipped into and enjoyed by anyone interest? ed in Richardson. If a great deal of scholarly superstructure remains, it is because this is the work that sets straight, with proofs, all the Richard? son facts and relationships. The narrative of the life is augmented by long accounts of the friendships, partial collaborations, plans (fulfilled and un? fulfilled), and revisions, plus chapters on each of the novels. It is neces? sary, as well as pleasant, when dealing with Richardson's printing of peri? odicals, to imbibe the whole context of the venture down to the names of advertisers and their wares. Some of the most interesting sections detail Richardson's revisions of Defoe's Tour and Complete English Tradesman and his selection and revision of Aesop s Fables undertaken shortly be? fore he began to write Pamela. All of the contemporary reviews and ref? erences, and most subsequent allusions, can be found here, as well as" @default.
