Samuel Richardson's Pamela (1740) is often regarded as the first true novel in English and a landmark in literary history. The controversy it inspired has become a standard point of reference in studies of the rise of the novel, the history of the book and the emergence of consumer culture. Thomas Keymer and Peter Sabor offer a fresh and definitive account of the novel's enormous cultural impact, examining the controversy as a market phenomenon, which combined disagreements about literary interpretation with commercial pressures, successes and failures.
