Samuel Richardson

Opis

Tells the story, in letters, of the beautiful and virtuoso Clarissa Harlowe's pursuit and abduction by the rake Robert Lovelace. The epistolary structure allows Richardson to create layered and fully realized characters, as well as an intriguing uncertainty about the reliability of the various narrators. The abridgment is designed to retain the novel's rich characterizations and relationships, and reproduces individual letters in their entirety wherever possible.
