About this title

Synopsis

Robert Lovelace, an 18th century rake, follows "The Rake's Creed" in his quest to corrupt Clarissa Harlowe, a young lady of high reputation and esteem, and the only lady in England who seems to have the strength to resist the humor and charms of Mr. Lovelace. This collection of letters includes reconstructed letters alluded to in the original nine volumes, corrects dates, and as Mr. Lovelace writes, "As it is my intention, in all my reflections, to avoid repeating, at least dwelling upon, what I have before written to thee," we have done him justice by removing his repetitive reflections. This book is a companion to Samuel Richardson's classic novel, Clarissa Harlowe; or the History of a Young Lady.
