This commanding two-volume project on Samuel Richardson's classic is an essential source for 18th century studies. It presents the most valuable critical, intellectual and aesthetic responses to this great novel from 1900 to 1950, when Frank Kermode re-assessed the relative significance of Richardson and Henry Fielding and affirmed the superior "value" of Richardson's moral and formal achievement. Professor Yount pursues four main goals: to place the critical materials she has gathered here and reprinted in their immediate historical contexts; to offer insight into works conceived at a time when the discipline of English studies as we know it was in its earliest stages of development; to illuminate the significance of responses to Clarissa that seem outdated or naive by today's scholarly standards; and to identify recurrent themes, highlighting the novel's ongoing and often controversial appeal in the first half of the twentieth century. These volumes reprint key commentaries and provide an introduction to the materials reprinted. They also offer scholarly background to these and discuss others omitted for reasons of space.
