hmmmm...doesn't the description of Robert Lovelace remind you of another RA character? Do we need only remove GoG's leather *faint* and replace it with the above 18thC attire? Evidently yet another male steamroller caught RA’s professional attention.
Some fascinating background on ‘Clarissa' written by Samuel Richardson in 1747. Sean Bean had a successful rendition in the 1990s. Interesting comments follow on that TV adaptation. http://www.compleatseanbean.com/clari-3.html
Imagine the cad as a Taller, Darker, more Handsome man than SB - and with an extremely seductive voice.

Having just finished all 26 parts of Sean Bean's 'Clarissa,' my first word is Amen!:) It became quite tiresome about part 19, however, considering the novel was written in 1747 it is amazing the plot didn't start to drag far sooner than it did.
Part 21 should prove to be the greatest challenge for the creators of the upcoming radio version - especially if the Lovelace character is rendered as callously evil as SB's interpretation. We'll start to look at the Sheriff of Nottingham's right hand man as 'Saint' Guy of Gisborne, after hearing the velvet voice portray what has to be one of the most debauched characters in English literature. The prospect of inhabiting Robert Lovelace's depraved personna must've intrigued RA's affinity for complicated characters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
