Clarissa, or, The history of a young lady / Samuel Richardson ; edited with an introduction and notes by Angus Ross.

From the Publisher: Written entirely in letters, this novel conveys the nuances and tensions only present in personal epistolary form. The virtuous but self-deceiving Clarissa and the charming villain Lovelace haunt the imagination as fully as Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Isolde.
