Clarissa Harlowe is the second major novel published by the author after the immense success of Pamela; it is again a sentimental novel whose virtuous heroine finds herself forced by her family to marry a noble ugly and obese man against her will. She will flee with one Lovelace the very type of elegant villainous and deceitful libertine who desires to constrain her body and soul leading her into social and moral decline but this will be without counting on Clarissa's virtuous qualities. If the novel from a modern viewpoint suffers from sentimentalism and length it nonetheless remains true that the construction of the plot the dramatic twists and the psychology would durably mark European literature. Diderot would proclaim it in his Eloge de Richardson and numerous authors would claim it as influence or undergo its influence: Rousseau Jane Austen Choderlos de Laclos. Chez Paul Barde hardcover
