Description
Clarissa - An Abridged Edition or, The History of a Young Lady
This 18th-century novel tells the story of Clarissa Harlowe's pursuit by Robert Lovelace through a series of letters. The epistolary structure allows for complex characterizations and an air of uncertainty about the reliability of the narrators.
Retaining much of the original novel's depth, this abridgment reproduces individual letters in their entirety whenever possible, providing a unique entry point for readers while preserving the powerful reading experience of the complete work.
