Description

Anna’s letter gets through, and the house no longer sounds safe. Hear Clarissa run for Hampstead — Mrs Moore’s lodging, the heath, two women who arrive as Lovelace’s kin. Volume 5 of the letters, unabridged: his marks in another woman’s lines, a flight that almost holds, a recapture done as kindness. Listen to warning arrive too late, and to London drawing the coach back in. The window was a hope. The road is the plot.

Author

Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) wrote Pamela and Clarissa, vast epistolary novels of virtue under siege. The English novel learned inwardness, and length, from him.
