Samuel Richardson’s massive seven volume history appeared in 1754, and even Jane Austen could not resist the charms of Sir Charles Grandison. The book is referenced in Northanger Abbey, and Austen herself re-wrote Sir Charles Grandison for an audience of her peers. Now, in the 21st century, The History of Charles Grandison has once again been edited, revised, and modernized. Sir Charles Grandison rescues Miss Harriet Byron from a vile plot. However, he must untangle past intrigues before his history joins his future.
