"In this remarkable and arresting study, Terry Eagleton seeks to reclaim Richardson for our own time, as one of the most pioneering and revolutionary authors of English literature. He shows how the concern of "Clarissa" with the oppression of women graphically prefigures the feminism of today. Using a combination of Marxist, post-structuralist and psychoanalytic approaches, Eagleton examines Richardson's obsession with the act of writing, his role as an aggressive spokesman for the middle class and his unparalleled insights into sexual politics."
