From the publisher

As Samuel Richardson's 'exemplar to her sex, ' Clarissa in the eponymous novel published in 1748 is the paradigmatic female victim. In Clarissa's Ciphers , Terry Castle delineates the ways in which, in a world where only voice carries authority, Clarissa is repeatedly silenced, both metaphorically and literally. A victim of rape, she is first a victim of hermeneutic abuse.
