Clarissa, or, The history of a young lady / Samuel Richardson ; edited with an introduction and notes by Angus Ross. by Richardson, Samuel, 1689-1761. Penguin Books, 1985. Call #: FICTION RIC Subjects Young women -- Crimes against -- Fiction.   Conflict of generations -- Fiction.   Kidnapping victims -- Fiction.   Rape victims -- Fiction.   England -- Fiction.   Great Britain -- Social life and customs -- 18th century -- Fiction. Series Penguin classics. ISBN:  9780140432152 (softcover) Alternate title:  Clarissa. History of a young lady. Description:  1533 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  Pressured by her unscrupulous family to marry a wealthy man she detests, the young Clarissa Harlowe is tricked into fleeing with the witty and debonair Robert Lovelace and places herself under his protection. Lovelace, however, proves himself to be an untrustworthy rake whose vague promises of marriage are accompanied by unwelcome and increasingly brutal sexual advances. And yet, Clarissa finds his charm alluring, her scrupulous sense of virtue tinged with unconfessed desire. Told through a complex series of interweaving letters, "Clarissa" is a richly ambiguous study of a fatally attracted couple and a work of astonishing power and immediacy. A huge success when it first appeared in 1747, and translated into French and German, it remains one of the greatest of all European novels. Genre:  Historical fiction. Psychological fiction. Epistolary fiction. Classic fiction. Other authors:  Ross, Angus.
