In many ways, the language has changed less in the 400 years since Shakespeare wrote than it did in the 150 years before he wrote."-Ronald Carter, The Routledge History of Literature in English: Britain and Ireland

"Richardson, however, remains a vital figure in the history of the novel, and of ideology. He initiates a discourse on sexual roles which, in all its ambiguities, is as relevant to today's society as it was in the mid-eighteenth century and which fills the pages of hundreds of novels after Pamela and Clarissa."-Ronald Carter, The Routledge History of Literature in English: Britain and Ireland
