Sarah Fielding's 'Remarks on Clarissa' (1749) serves as a critical analysis and commentary on Samuel Richardson's seminal work, 'Clarissa, or, The History of a Young Lady'. Fielding delves into the themes of gender, power dynamics, and morality explored in Richardson's novel, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations. Her writing style is eloquent and persuasive, offering insightful interpretations of the novel's intricacies. As one of the earliest examples of literary criticism written by a woman, Fielding's 'Remarks on Clarissa' holds significant value in the literary context of the 18th century. Fielding's work sheds light on the gender norms and societal expectations prevalent during that time period, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of early English literature. I highly recommend 'Remarks on Clarissa' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of Richardson's work and gaining a deeper insight into the portrayal of women in 18th-century literature.
