Correspondence with George Cheyne and Thomas EdwardsAuthor(s): Samuel Richardson, David E. Shuttleton, John A. Dussinger\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9780521822855, 978-0521822855\nSynopsis\nSamuel Richardson [tel], among the most important and influential English novelists, was also a prolific letter writer. Beyond its extraordinary range, his correspondence holds special interest as that of a practising epistolary novelist, who thought long and hard about the letter as a form. The Cambridge Edition of the Correspondence of Samuel Richardson is the first complete edition of his letters. The present volume contains his correspondences with Dr George Cheyne and Thomas Edwards, linked not only by their pronounced medical content but also by their generally unguarded character. An early admirer of Richardson's Pamela [tel], Cheyne elicits some of the novelist's most significant statements concerni.
