Shamela is a bawdy, spirited, and hilarious response to Samuel Richardson's hugely popular 1740 novel, Pamela. In this pointed satire, Shamela (which transpires to be the real name of Richardson's Pamela) reveals the ulterior motives behind the events that took place in Pamela.

Shamela is unlike the virtuous young lady portrayed in Richardson's novel 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.

Fielding, most famous as the author of Tom Jones and Joseph Andrews, equated morality with expediency, and he takes advantage of the comic form to provide a multi-layered satire of contemporary politics and values. He lampoons political figures, the clergy, and contemporary writers with criticisms that, most importantly, contribute to a comic tour-de-force unlike any other.

I haven’t read Richardson’s Pamela, but I don’t think you need to in order to enjoy this incredibly funny spoof. It’s brilliant!

Really funny

Presented as a list of letters, this satire of Samuel Richardson's best-seller narrates the 'real story' of Pamela Andrews and it's infinitely more enjoyable than the original. The wonderful Clare Corbett narrated both Shamela and Pamela and it's clear she had much more fun doing this book.

There are additional letters included, one from an outraged parson which Fielding uses as a vehicle to deliver contemporary criticisms of Pamela.

This book would be enjoyable enough as a standalone work, but is essential as comic relief for anyone that's been unfortunate enough to read Pamela.

Read this after Pamela!
