Richardson's first novel, "pamela or virtue rewarded" (1740), circulated in europe due to to the french translation attributed to prevost d'exiles (1741-1742). As early as 1743, there were plays in france inspired by the novel. In italy, the subject saw several adaptations for the theatre. The most famous of these was goldoni's "pamela fanciulla" (1750). The playwright, given the social context of venice at that thime, changed the climax of this english novel, which was a written account of a misalliance. The italian comedy reveals that the servant girl is of a noble birth - the misalliance is avoided by this use of the old tech nique of discovered identity. Goldoni wrote a sequel to this comedy entitled "pamela maritata". He also wrote two librettos for the operas "la buona figliuola" and "la buona figliuola maritata" based on this subject, which was set to music by several composers, the most famous version wars piccini's "la buona figliuola" (1760). Spain discovered the english heroine as from 1761 through goldoni's plays which were adapted and translated in spanish, catalan and portuguese both in prose and in verse. The versions adapted for operas were successful. The subject reappeared in several spanish plays as from 1789. The spanish translation of this english novel was only to come in 1794 and it left its mark on the spanish novel. Pamela's story develops and spreads like a myth. Its importance is linked from the outset to the values of the age of enlightenment.
