The book argues that Clarissa needs to be rethought as a dangerous exploration of the ethics of tragedy, on the scale of the great arguments of post-Romantic tragic theory, from Ho?lderlin and Nietzsche, to Benjamin and Lacan and beyond. Influenced by and providing introductory readings of all of these thinkers, the book also reflects the latest developments in eighteenth century studies, from developing views of the concept of the Enlightenment to recent work on anthology literature and quotation in the period. Taking the reader through Clarissa from beginning to end, Samuel Richardson and the theory of tragedy acts as a guidebook for newcomers to Richardson's notoriously massive text, situating it alongside Richardson's other works and the epistolary novel form in general. Filled with innovative close readings that will provoke and interest, Samuel Richardson and the theory of tragedy will also serve as a jumping off point for anyone interested in the way the theory of tragedy continues to be the privileged meeting point between literature and philosophy.This book will appeal to both literature scholars and students and the general reader; to those with interest in the eighteenth-century novel, tragedy and ethics in critical theory." --Back cover. 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterary Studies: C 1500 To C 1800$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh [Add BISAC headings from the spreadsheet e.g. HISTORY / Europe / Western$2bisach 606 $aAnthologies: general$2thema 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aClarissa. 610 $aEuropean novels. 610 $aGerman seventeenth century. 610 $aLovelace. 610 $aSamuel Richardson. 610 $aTerry Castle. 610 $aWalter Benjamin. 610 $aethics of tragedy. 610 $alinguistic persecutions. 610 $amad papers. 610 $amournful landscape. 610 $aparental tyranny. 610 $apost-Romantic tragic theory. 610 $arape. 610 $areceived notion. 610 $atragic drama. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterary Studies: C 1500 To C 1800 615 7$aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh [Add BISAC headings from the spreadsheet e.g. HISTORY / Europe / Western 615 7$aAnthologies: general 676 $a823.6 700 $aSmith$b J.
