An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews (Dramatic Reading)

"An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews" is a satirical novel that was written by Henry Fielding and published in 1741. The book, usually referred to as "Shamela", is a direct critique of Samuel Richardson's popular novel "Pamela". It's written in the form of letters and tells the story of Shamela, a cunning servant girl who uses her wits to manipulate her way into a wealthy marriage. The book is widely believed to be a work of Fielding, although he never claimed it as his own. "Shamela" is a humorous and clever attack on the conventions of popular literature during that time."
