The complex image of artistic space in Samuel Richardson’s novels «Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded» and «Clarissa, or the History of a Young Lady», defining the plot through the concepts of road, estate, house, interior realities, natural topos, their limits, is analyzed in the chapter. The opposition «house-home», the theme of the distance between the heroes of different social status, the allegorical motive of the boundary: a locked door / an open window, are accentuated. The semantics of the locus of the stairs, the hallway, interior passages, destroying the stability of the social hierarchy of characters, is considered. Attention is focused on the ways of deploying of artistic space and time in the novels, the spatial and temporal markers as symbols. The concepts of the characters, the methods of creating the world of heroes, as well as the mechanism of the plot, are examined. Previously slightly outlined themes of gender relations in the family, the regulation of manners in London and province, the issues of woman’s fate, rights, freedom, and the possibility of self-realization are being actualized.
