Clarissa
A young woman of good family refuses the husband her relations have chosen and is pressured, step by step, into the protection of the rake Lovelace. The whole of it arrives as letters between the two of them and their confidants, each party sure of its own version. The longest tragedy in English, one woman against a predatory world.
