Description
"In Samuel Richardson's classic tale, Clarissa defies her parents' desire for her to marry a loathsome man for his wealth and escapes into the dangerous arms of the charming rogue Lovelace, whose intentions are much less than honorable. The work, written entirely in intimate letters, reveals the complexity of attractions in relationships, especially in that of villain and victim"
