Title of the paper: Pamela vs Shamela

Author or topic: Samuel Richardson

Abstract or summary of the research in not more than 100 to max. 150 words: The purpose of this work is to compare both Pamela and Shamela novels. Pamela was written by Samuel Richardson in 1741 and it's the first book written in an epistolar way. He devoted to write letters for other people and his friends proposed him to write a book with all those letters as guide for young people. The result of that suggestion was Pamela, a novel that shows us the recompensed virtue. Shamela was written by Henry Fielding in 1741 in opposition to Pamela. Henry Fielding thought that Pamela was not as good as she seemed, so Shamela shows us a girl who uses her virtues for ascending in society.
