Pamela

Pamela is determined to protect her virginity and remain a paragon of virtue. However, the heroine's moral principles only strengthen the resolve of Mr. B, and Pamela soon finds herself imprisoned against her will. The young woman's affection for her captor gradually grows, and she becomes aware of a love that combines eros and agape. Richardson's classic novel created a sensation upon its publication. The novel's radical departure from the traditional comic plot violated convention.
