Clarissa: Or the History of a Young Lady is an epistolary novel that tells the story of the beautiful, virtuous Clarissa and her tragic end. Harrison and Co. first printed the cautionary tale in 1748 in a series of eight volumes.
Clarissa Harlowe, the tragic heroine of Clarissa, is a beautiful and virtuous young lady whose family has become very wealthy only in recent years and is now eager to become part of the aristocracy by acquiring estates and titles through advantageous pairings.
Clarissa, a young middle-class woman who expects to marry well, is gravely disappointed by her parents’ choice of suitor. The extremely wealthy, though ugly, Solmes is not Clarissa’s idea of a good match.
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.
