Based on a detailed analysis of Richardson?s work, this book maintains that he sought both to uphold hierarchical concepts of individual duty, and to warn of the consequences if such hierarchies were abused. In his final novel, Richardson aimed at a synthesis between social hierarchy and individual liberty, patriarchy and female self-fulfilment. His work, albeit rooted in patriarchal values, paved the way for proto-feminist conceptions of female character. 517 $aOne Great Family 606 $aLiterary studies: c 1500 to c 1800$2bicssc 610 $aEnglish literature 610 $aEighteenth-century novel 610 $aSamuel Richardson 610 $aethics 610 $agender 615 7$aLiterary studies: c 1500 to c 1800 700 $aHöhn$b Simone Eva$4auth$01279217 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910490714203321 996 $aOne Great Family$93014835 997 $aUNINA
