Recenzii
"The essays track Richardson's significance to later writers, from the late 18th to the 21st century, convincingly excavating Richardson's presence in the works of Elizabeth Inchbald, Charlotte Brontë, the Marquis de Sade, Ford Madox Ford, Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, Nicholas D. Nace, and Trisha Low. . . . Highly recommended."
"Revisiting Richardson brings to bear on this protean author the urgent critical and social concerns of the 2020s—including those of queer studies, critical race theory, debates about female happiness and male sexualities, conceptual writing, and genre fiction. The Richardson we encounter here is at once new and strangely familiar, timeless and of our time. A must-read for Richardsonians and those seeking to explore a presentist eighteenth century."
"Revisiting Richardson is a timely volume that reveals the exciting avenues left to explore in the work of one of the eighteenth century's most canonical authors. With scholarly approaches ranging from book history, to queer studies, to new formalism, to media studies, this volume offers new and exciting perspectives on the breadth of Richardson's works, from The Apprentice's Vade Mecum to Sir Charles Grandison."
"These original essays offer exciting, fresh approaches to Richardson's writings, fulfilling the promise of 'revisiting Richardson' but also seeking out his enduring influence in surprising new contexts. Questions of gender, sexuality, race, class, and selfhood come to the fore in this volume, which cements Richardson's relevance for 2025 and beyond."
"By situating Richardson in various contexts and approaches, this outstanding collection of essays will spark new critical conversations. Original in conception and execution, Revisiting Richardson marks an important moment in the long history of scholarship on the author of Pamela, Clarissa, and Sir Charles Grandison."

Descriere
This collection reconsiders the works of the eighteenth-century novelist Samuel Richardson. These lively essays examine overlooked works, provide new readings of Pamela and Clarissa, and show how Richardson’s preoccupations—gender and sexuality; race and white femininity; masculinity, sadism, and control; religion and selfhood; authorship and artistic form—resonate with contemporary readers.
