"Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded" erschien erstmals im November 1740 und machte in England und auf dem Festland eine Furore, wie sie in der Literaturgeschichte wohl einmalig ist. Der Roman entwickelte sich nicht nur zum ersten internationalen Bestseller, sondern markiert auch den Beginn eines neuen erzählerischen Stils und gilt für viele Literaturwissenschaftler als der erste moderne Roman überhaupt, dessen direkter oder indirekter Einfluss auf nachfolgende Schriftsteller, darunter bedeutende Vordenker der Aufklärung, gar nicht überschätzt werden kann: Fielding, John Cleland, Rousseau, Diderot, Lessing, Goethe, De Sade, Laclos, Jane Austen, die Bronte-Schwestern, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Proust, D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf und viele mehr.

A best-seller of its time, «Pamela» tells the story of a fifteen-year-old maidservant named Pamela Andrews, whose employer, Mr. B, a wealthy landowner, makes unwanted and inappropriate advances towards her after the death of his mother. Pamela was an early commentary on domestic violence and brought into question the dynamic line between male aggression and a contemporary view of love. Moreover, Pamela, despite the controversies, was able to shed light on social issues that transcended the novel for the time such as gender roles, early false-imprisonment, and class barriers present in the eighteenth century.
