The Seduction Narrative in Britain, 1747–1800

The Seduction Narrative in Britain, 1747–1800 The seduction of a virtuous young heroine was an immensely popular plot in eighteenth-century literature, most famously in Samuel Richardsons Clarissa. This book surveys seduction narratives within the context of the new ideal of marriage-for-love and shows how these tales tell varying stories of womens emotional and sexual lives.
