Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded by Samuel Richardson
Now first Published In order to cultivate the Principles of Virtue and Religion in the Minds of the Youth of Both Sexes.
A Narrative which has its Foundation in Truth and Nature; and at the same time that it agreeably entertains, by a Variety of curious and affecting Incidents, is entirely divested of all those Images, which, in too many Pieces calculated for Amusement only, tend to inflame the Minds they should instruct.
Pamela tells the story of a 14 year old lady’s maid named Pamela whose master, Mr. B., makes unwanted advances towards her. She rejects him continually, and her virtue is eventually rewarded when he shows his sincerity by proposing an equitable marriage to her.
In Pamela’s letters to her “poor but exemplary parents” the story unfolds.

The Bertrams by Anthony Trollope
This is a massive effort, taking place in England and the Middle East, with a cast of thousands… Well, not thousands, fortunately, but certainly a great many. There are three Bertrams present: Sir Lionel, his son George (our hero), and the wealthy uncle. The primary story involves the joining of two couples (following some rocky periods), and the disposal of the uncle’s fortune. The more amusing bits focus on peripheral characters in the social settings of a fictional town and in travel on board ship or touring Egypt. Trollope digresses from time to time to lecture us on religion, politics, and eccentricities of the British tourist.

The Awkward Age by Henry James
Nanda Brookenham is coming of age, and thus ‘coming out’ in London society – which leads to complications in her family’s social set in London’s fin de siècle life. James presents the novel almost entirely in dialogue, an experiment that adds to the immediacy of the scenes but also creates serious ambiguities about characters and their motives.

Mrs. Armytage by Catherine Grace Frances Gore
Mrs Armytage is a widowed landowner, spirited, independent and very much used to having her own way and exercising total dominance over her family. She is acutely aware of social distinctions, proud of her power and prestige, and stands on her dignity to the point of becoming cold, judgmental and aloof. Her character flaws bring her into conflict with her children when her son Arthur announces his choice of a wife who is very much below their rank, and much will happen before Mrs Armytage learns to repent her behavior.
Mrs Catherine Gore was foremost among the writers of ‘Silver Fork’ or ‘fashionable’ novels, hugely popular in the early 1800s, which chronicle the romances and scandals of the upper classes during the Regency period. Her writing drew criticism from her contemporaries for being rather superficial, but even her critics acknowledged her often brilliant characterization and gift for satire. In the present day, when Regency romances have become so popular, Mrs Gore is long overdue for a revival, and ‘Mrs Armytage’, one of her best works, offers rich rewards to the reader.
