Samuel Richardson's New Nation focuses on four novels, taking new and varied approaches in analyzing the construct of native «English» virtue and the role of the domestic sphere within eighteenth-century England. Ewha Chung not only examines Richardson's use of such themes but also links the novels to historical developments that inevitably heightened the sense of English superiority so crucial to the age of imperialism. The powerful influence of Richardson's literary nationalism inspired eighteenth-century readers in England and Europe. This work investigates the phenomenal investment in Richardson's characters and demonstrates beyond question the far-reaching impact of his work.
The Author: Ewha Chung is Assistant Professor of English Language and Literature at Sungshin University in Seoul, Korea. She received her Ph.D. in English Literature from Northwestern University. In addition to the numerous articles on the eighteenth century in professional journals, she is presently editing and contributing to an anthology of English Literature for Korean students.
