Sir Charles Grandison
by Isaac Taylor, Samuel Richardson, and John Oldcastle
Published 14 December 1972
First published in 1753, Richardson's third novel was immensely popular. Richardson draws on every kind of narrative technique in this intricate and logically patterned novel. He creates a work that is at once a novel of manners, a novel of sensibility, a Gothic novel--a variety of genres that highlight his gift for witty character sketch and brisk dialogue.
