About the book

Samuel Richardson's Clarissa is one of the monumental novels of the eighteenth century. Told through letters, it follows Clarissa Harlowe, a young woman whose family attempts to force her into an unwanted marriage for financial and social advantage. Seeking escape, Clarissa places her trust in the charming but manipulative Robert Lovelace, with devastating consequences. Richardson explores virtue, coercion, family authority, gender and psychological manipulation in extraordinary detail. This collection presents one of the longest and most influential novels in English literature.
