A milestone in the history of the novel, Samuel Richardsons epistolary and elaborate Clarissa follows the life of a chaste young woman desperate to protect her virtue. When beautiful Clarissa Harlowe is forced to marry the rich but repulsive Mr Solmes, she refuses, much to her family.s chagrin. She escapes their persecution with the help of Mr Lovelace, a dashing and seductive rake, but soon finds herself in a...
far worse dilemma. Lovelace is a devil in disguise: he promptly imprisons Clarissa, and is determined to break her will.
Terrifying and enlightening, Clarissa weaves a tapestry of narrative experimentation into a gripping morality tale of good triumphing over evil.
The recording is divided into three volumes.
