Clarissa Harlowe; or the history of a young lady — Volume 4
Produced by Julie C. Sparks and David Widger
"Clarissa Harlowe; or the History of a Young Lady — Volume 4" by Samuel Richardson is a novel likely composed in the early 18th century. The narrative revolves around the character of Clarissa Harlowe, a young woman navigating the complexities of love, societal expectations, and her tumultuous relationship with Mr. Lovelace, whose affections are clouded by manipulative schemes. At the start of Volume 4, the reader finds Clarissa settling into her new lodgings in London, while reflecting on her relationship with Lovelace and her insistence on maintaining personal autonomy amid his advances. Through a series of letters exchanged between Clarissa and her friend Miss Howe, it becomes evident that Clarissa harbors deep frustration towards Lovelace's declarations and behavior, feeling increasingly trapped in a web of deceit and societal pressure regarding her status as a seemingly married woman. Lovelace, on the other hand, is portrayed as both charming and duplicitous, further complicating Clarissa's emotional struggles as she seeks to define her identity and moral stance in a perilous situation.
