Enter a world of letters, secrets, virtue, temptation, and consequence.

The Samuel Richardson Library presents the complete works of one of the great founders of the English novel, read in full. Here are private thoughts committed to paper, hearts tested by love and ambition, and characters forced to choose between desire, duty, reputation, and conscience.

From the trials of Pamela to the devastating moral drama of Clarissa, these are stories in which every letter may conceal a motive, reveal a confidence, or alter a life.

Attend closely, for in Richardson’s world, the most dangerous battles are often fought upon the page.Public domain
