Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded is a novel by Samuel Richardson, first published in 1740. While Richardson did not invent the name Pamela the novel did help to popularize the name in English-speaking countries. The novel is in epistolary form, consisting of letters and diary entries.

So I'm a shrinking virgin...or and the oldest p(l)otted novel in English...(purple prose, I'm sure).

I'm glad I improved in 1999. Maybe there's time for another improvement in 2010...when I will be older than the dirt in which I'm rooted...
