This work evaluates the moral and aesthetic impact of Samuel Richardson's major novels of the time, particularly focusing on their societal implications and character portrayals. The author presents a passionate defense of virtue while critiquing Richardson's narrative techniques and the moral lessons imparted in his novels. The opening portion of the critique sets up a philosophical and moral argument concerning the effects of Richardson's works on public taste and morals. The author acknowledges the intention behind Richardson's writing but argues that his novels, especially "Sir Charles Grandison," present a corrupt through flawed characters and excessive length. The critique outlines various character inconsistencies, particularly in Grandison and Lovelace, while praising the admirable qualities of Clarissa. The author discusses the moral difficulties depicted in these narratives and addresses the broader cultural implications of such literature, suggesting that it fails to uphold the virtues it purports to promote.
