Pamela

Or Virtue Rewarded

2008 || Paperback || Samuel Richardson || Oxford University Press

One of the most spectacular successes of the flourishing literary marketplace of eighteenth-century London, Pamela also marked a defining moment in the emergence of the modern novel.

2009 || Paperback || Joris-Karl Huysmans || Oxford University Press

`It will be the biggest fiasco of the year - but I don't care a damn! It will be something nobody has ever done before, and I shall have said what I had to say.'
