He is best known for his epistolary novels, including ‘Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded’ (1740), which is often credited with being one of the earliest English novels, and ‘Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady’ (1748), which is considered one of his masterpieces. Richardson’s work has been of considerable significance in the development of the novel as a literary form, with an emphasis on moral instruction and the inner psychological worlds of his characters. His novels are characterized by their elaborate narratives, complex characters, and moral underpinnings.
