Summary of Clarissa, Or The History of a Young Lady Summary of Clarissa, Or The History of a Young Lady Reviews for Clarissa, Or The History of a Young Lady An Excerpt from Clarissa, Or The History of a Young Lady
Written entirely in letters, this novel conveys the nuances and tensions only present in personal epistolary form. The virtuous but self-deceiving Clarissa and the charming villain Lovelace haunt the imagination as fully as Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Isolde.
