This three-volume Oxford World's Classics set presents Samuel Richardson's final novel, "The History of Sir Charles Grandison," a landmark epistolary work of eighteenth century fiction that constructs its titular hero as the model of Christian gentlemanly virtue. The narrative follows Harriet Byron's rescue from an attempted abduction and subsequent courtship by Sir Charles, while entangling his prior obligation to the Italian noblewoman Clementina della Porretta, and through this triangle Richardson examines duty, religious conviction, and the possibility of a genuinely good man.
