Review title: stylistic murder
Product review: Clarissa is a very good novel. If you're prepared foran 18th-century epistolary novel and prepared to tackle a verylong novel, you won't feel sorry.However, I'd like to make some comments on this pseudo-scholar that edited this Penguin-Viking edition, a certain Mr Angus Ross, who had the bad taste of interfering with Richardson's style. In several places, some of Richardson's very long sentences were "desecrated" and broken down into two or more sentences.He alsotampered with Richardson's punctuation. And this editor had the gruff to say he did that to help us! He should have let us be the judge of that! As a matter of fact, a person who picks up an eighteenth-century epistolary novel is not expecting e-mail-length sentences, is he?
