Samuel Richardson
Postscript to Clarissa
Summary
After the publication of his novel 'Clarissa' the author Samuel Richardson received anonymous letters, many of them from his female readers who wanted a more 'fortunate ending', to wit, by reforming Lovelace and marrying him to Clarissa. The author justifies the heavenly reward he gave to his heroine and answers other accusations, including the length of the story.
