Lissa Notreallywolf’s Reviews > Pamela, or Virtue rewarded > Status Update

Perhaps I am allergic to what could be called drawing room novels, and I know I struggle with the epistolary form in novels. This is a tedious read about attempted seduction of a maid, by her smitten master. I am confused about Richardson's motives for writing the book aside from a desire to show off the letter as a literary form. I am reminded of The Pearl, a voyeristic book of porn I once dipped into as a teenager.
