Fifteen-year-old Pamela Andrews, alone and unprotected, is relentlessly pursued by her dead mistress’s son. Although she is attracted to young Mr B., she holds out against his demands and threats of abduction and rape, determined to defend her virginity and abide by her own moral standards. Psychologically acute in its investigations of sex, freedom and power, Richardson’s first novel caused a sensation when it was first published, with its depiction of a servant heroine who dares to assert herself. Richly comic and full of lively scenes and descriptions, Pamela contains a diverse cast of characters, ranging from the vulgar and malevolent Mrs Jewkes to the aggressive but awkward country squire who serves this unusual love story as both its villain and its hero.
This edition incorporates all the revisions made by Richardson in his lifetime. Margaret A. Doody’s introduction discusses the genre of epistolary novels, and examines characterization, the role of women and class differences in Pamela.
Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was born in Derbyshire, the son of a joiner. He received little formal education and in 1706 was apprenticed to a printer in London. Thirteen years later he set himself up as a stationer and printer and became of the leading figures in the trade. He printed political material, newspapers and literature. He began writing Pamela as a result of a suggestion from friends that he should compile a book of model letters for use by unskilled writers. Pamela was a great success and went on to write Clarissa, one of the masterpieces of European literature.

評分《帕梅拉》(1740)齣版之後,對於帕梅拉這個人物,一直以來就有兩個極端不同的解釋。伊恩.P.瓦特在《小說的興起》一書中說,在該書齣版後不久,就有一個不知名的小冊子作者認為,在人們之間,齣現瞭兩個不同的派彆,帕梅拉派和反帕梅拉派。那個年輕的處女,到底是一個女士們應...
評分這本書寫的還可以,但是有18、19世紀那時的思想局限性。伯爵後來明媒正娶瞭帕梅拉,大傢可以看到帕梅拉感激成什麼樣瞭,動不動就撲到在伯爵的腳下,感恩的進行錶白,愛情中的兩個人是平等的,愛情不是賜予與恩惠。再看周圍的人,他們懾於伯爵的權勢見風使舵,那個牧師,一再錶...

評分現在看此書的意義與其在關注婚前的貞潔,還不如更反映當時的英國社會現狀以及婚姻觀。 帕梅拉是B先生媽媽的女僕,按階級等級是無論如何不可能與B先生結婚的,這還不似《傲慢與偏見》。而最初先生也隻是打算讓其做情婦。不過這在清教徒風氣的英國,至少在正派人之中是不可能的...

评分18世紀霸道總裁愛上我....這點我站Shamela
评分1)書信體一方麵建構主體話語,另一方麵也因為迴憶的形式給主人公雕琢詞句,重構自我形象的機會;2)對pamela道德層麵上的關注,還是要結閤Mr.B的遊戲心態和逐步淪陷3)底層pamela的消失,Mrs.B的齣現,舊秩序照舊4)隨身女僕與底層女僕的文化差異,道德堅守,訴說能力是Pamela隱形優勢5)三個包裹,人生的輪轉6)呈現式現實主義,注重內心世界描摹, 階級性上後來勞倫斯異麯同工7)Pamela的哭泣和暈倒與Frankenstein裏的Elizabeth都體現瞭時代對女性社會身體的期盼,19世紀發展為傢庭天使的守則,這裏對自己喋喋不休地訴說實則帶有18世紀感傷主義,顧影自憐的味道,同時牽引讀者的心思8)言行差距,語言的潛颱詞在解構主義裏發揮作用,完善Pamela性格底色9)真實自然
