What distinguishes Clarissa from Samuel Richardson's other novels is Richardson's awareness of how his plot would end. In the inevitability of its conclusion, its engagement with every category of human experience and its author's wish to communicate religious truth, E. Derek Taylor suggests Clarissa is the Paradise Lost of the eighteenth century.
