Summary: Proposing that Samuel Richardson's novels were crucial for the construction of female individuality in the mid-eighteenth century, Latimer argues that Grandison must be recognised as Richardson's final word on his re-envisioning of the gendered self. She calls for a rigorous rereading of the novel as a basis for reassessing Richardson's fictional oeuvre that has implications for fresh thinking about the eighteenth-century novel.
