Description
Shamela is a bawdy, spirited and hilarious response to Samuel Richardson's hugely popular 1740 novel, Pamela. In this pointed satire, Shamela reveals the ulterior motives behind the events in Richardson's novel. Shamela is entirely unlike the virtuous young lady of Pamela and she takes command of her master, Squire Booby. Our heroine has planned it all out from the start and she is determined to entrap her master into marriage.
