Published in 1748, Samuel Richardson's 'Clarissa' is an epistolary novel that explores the moral and psychological struggles of its titular character, Clarissa Harlowe. Pressured by her family to marry a wealthy suitor she despises, Clarissa is manipulated into fleeing with the charming but deceitful Robert Lovelace, leading to her tragic downfall.
