INTRODUCTION
In this work online, I am going to study a little part of English literatures,
which is belong to 18th century. I have chosen Samuel
Richardson because I think he was a very important writer in the English
novel tradition.
I am going to talk about Clarissa;
or the History of a Young Lady, which is considered his best work;
afterwards, I am going to treat some respects of other of Samuel Richardson's
novels, The History
of Sir Charles Grandison.
Finally, I am going to expose Richardson's work relevance, where I talk
about the strong rivality between Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding,
and their very big importance as a "creators" of the English
novel in 18th
century.
