Document Summary
Title page: required reading, moral value necessary to be read , correct errors, parody of the biography of colley cibber, the author: conny keyber. Not even fielding publishing it anonymously, but under a pseudonym. Conney, double entendre: smutty term for vagina: the mention of the young politician. Pamela was servant who attracts the attention of her master. He tries to rape her several times, she refuses until they get married. Which implies that she could have been scheming to raise her status in the first place, which is where fielding takes shamela. Also a reference to the relationship cibber has with robert walpole: the authentic papers, real letters. Keeps with pamela, richardson publishes it and presents self as editor that had received these real papers: note: this is a form of paratext. First in long line of parodies of pamela: because it was seriously really popular, like the twilight of our times.
