The Columbia History of the British NovelSignificantly, when we do learn about Sir Charles's and Clementina's family we encounter episodes of monstrous cruelty, abused authority, and heart-rending suffering-and it was precisely these scenes that pumped the tears from readers like Wortley Montagu, Diderot, and Stendhal. This study of sensibility without obsession, sublimity without abjection, only proves de Sade's disturbing thesis: ever since Clarissa, the novelist is bound to explore, not virtue alone, but the uttermost capacities of vice, the deepest «folds» of the human heart.
