When fifteen-year-old maidservant Pamela Andrews loses her employer, the wealthy Mr. B begins making unwanted advances toward her. Through letters to her impoverished parents, Pamela chronicles her struggle to maintain her virtue while facing seduction attempts, assault, and kidnapping.

and the complex dynamics between power and morality in eighteenth-century England. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
