註釋"Martha J. Koehler undertakes detailed readings of Clarissa, Sir Charles Grandison, Evelina, and Les Liaisons dangereuses in a theoretically and historically informed context, in order to investigate the ideologically charged terrain of models and modeling in eighteenth-century epistolary fiction. Deploying the concept of the "model" both as a person to be imitated (a paragon) and as a representation of narrative communication, she argues that Clarissa imposes on its readers a traditional view of women's inferiority, and frustrates the traditional ethical paradigm of imitating a model, in its depiction of a female paragon who is both a representative of and an exception to her gender."--BOOK JACKET.
