First published in 1748, this monumental work of eighteenth-century fiction remains a landmark of the epistolary novel and one of the most powerful tragic love stories ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTold entirely through letters, \u003cem\u003eClarissa\u003c\/em\u003e follows the story of Clarissa Harlowe, a virtuous young woman pressured by her family into an unwanted marriage for the sake of wealth and social standing. Determined to resist, Clarissa is drawn into a dangerous entanglement with the charming and manipulative Robert Lovelace, whose relentless pursuit leads to devastating consequences.
