Description

She is gone when the volume opens. Hear the funeral road, Morden, the Harlowes arriving after the fact, Lovelace still talking until the talk has nowhere to go. Volume 9 of the letters, unabridged: posthumous pages, a German inn, a meeting that ends a career of talk. Listen to Belford finish other people’s business, and to a close that is not a sermon if you stay in the rooms it happens in. The correspondence stops. The voice that carried it does not plead.

Author

Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) wrote Pamela and Clarissa, vast epistolary novels of virtue under siege. The English novel learned inwardness, and length, from him.
