Samuel Richardson and the Theory of Tragedy

Samuel Richardson and the theory of tragedy is a bold new interpretation of one of the greatest European novels, Samuel Richardson's Clarissa. It argues that this text needs to be rethought as a dangerous exploration of the ethics of tragedy, on the scale of the great arguments of post-Romantic tragic theory, from Hlderlin to Nietzsche, to Benjamin, Lacan and beyond.
