Full marbled glazed calf binding spine with raised bands decorated. One tear to joint at headcap. ""Richardson était l'inventeur de la tragédie bourgeoise . Il a inventé ce roman où l'art consiste à négliger tous les préceptes de l'art où l'accumulation de détails étrangers à l'action où la répétition des mêmes scènes et des mêmes sentiments produisent plus d'effet que la précision le goût la justesse et l'ordre n'en ont jamais produit"" Richardson was the inventor of bourgeois tragedy . He invented this novel where art consists in neglecting all the precepts of art where the accumulation of details foreign to the action where the repetition of the same scenes and the same sentiments produce more effect than precision taste accuracy and order have ever produced. AUGUSTIN FILON Histoire de la littérature anglaise : depuis ses origines jusqu'à nos jours Paris Hachette 1883. Abbé Prévost did not content himself with translating Richardson's novel he arranged and reworked it; not liking the ending he probably rewrote it and it is this version that circulated throughout Europe and made Richardson's reputation while the original comprised 28 volumes that Prévost reduced to 8 systematically cutting the verbosity and characteristic prolixity of Richardson.

Despite defects a handsome copy in a quality binding. Clarisse Harlove is the second great novel published by the author after the immense success of Pamela; it is again a sentimental novel whose virtuous heroine finds herself constrained by her family to marry a noble ugly and obese man against her will. She will flee with one Lovelace the very type of elegant villainous and deceitful libertine who desires to constrain her body and soul leading her into social and moral decline but this will be without counting on Clarisse's virtuous qualities. If the novel from a modern perspective suffers from sentimentalism and length it nonetheless remains true that the construction of the plot the dramatic twists and the psychology will durably mark European literature. Diderot will proclaim this in his Éloge de Richardson and numerous authors will claim it or undergo its influence: Rousseau Jane Austen Choderlos de Laclos. The work will enjoy immense success and even if due to its length the novel is little read today it remains one of the most emblematic books of 18th century literature. It should be noted that Diderot's essay in addition to the praise given to Richardson is a true plea for a new realistic literature his thesis joining that which he wrote for the theater.

London: C. Rivington; S. Richardson 1742. Leather. Very Good. 6.5" by 4". None. A scarce early set of this influential eighteenth century novel in contemporary calf. Volumes one is the second edition volume two the fourth edition volume three is the first edition and volume four the second edition. Volume three catchword misprinted A for As as called for. Scarce in any early edition. Endpapers and blanks renewed to volumes one and three. As stated on the title pages of volumes one and two they had intended to be a complete story within themselves. However due to the instant success of the works going through five editions in its first year and prompting the release of many counterfeit sequels imitators and parodies Richardson chose to write two more volumes. 'Pamela' or 'Virtue Rewarded' tells of a beautiful 15 year old Pamela working as a maidservant under inappropriate master Mr B. Though it was a bestseller when published it's received criticism over time for it's seeming glorification of abuse. It's been referenced widely in literature including in 'Jane Eyre' and 'The Haunting of Hill House'. First published in 1740 this is considered to be one of the first true English novels. It was immensely popular and widely read however Richardson did receive criticism for its contents for its perceived licentiousness and disregard for class barriers. 'Pamela' is notable for its early commentary on domestic violence and the social issues of the Georgian era told through the eyes of the naive Pamela in her letters to her parents. Rebacked with contemporary calf boards preserved. Externally smart with marks to the boards and bumping to the extremities. Endpapers and blanks renewed to volumes one and three. Contemporary ink inscriptions to paste downs and preliminaries of all volumes. Internally firmly bound. Loss to extremity of leaf B slightly affecting the text.
