Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author of Clarissa; or, the History of a Young Lady published in 1748 is a series of letters that tell the tragic tale of a young woman named Clarissa Harlowe. This poignant story explores familial relations, morality, and the societal pressures women faced in 18th century England. Clarissa's life takes a dramatic turn when she chooses to marry a poor man, Robert Lovelace, whom her family disapproves of. Heartbroken by their rejection, she is tricked into running off with Lovelace, who subjects her to physical and psychological abuse. Her plight exposes the double standards of 18th-century society, where women were expected to be subservient to their fathers and husbands. This powerful narrative goes beyond the confines of Clarissa's personal struggles to provide insights into the social and cultural norms of the time. It delves into themes of virtue, chastity, and the role of women in society and has influenced generations of readers and writers.
