However after an unsuccessful attempt to seduce Joseph, she instead sleeps with her employer and loses her place. Unlike Richardson and his characters, Fielding and his are warm and kind; Fielding attacks the stupidities of human kind that need attacking, and he's smarter than everyone. He may defend the system of which he is part, but the world that he portrays in Joseph Andrews is corrupt to the core with innocent people constantly at risk of being robbed, raped or imprisoned, falling foul of both criminals and the law, whilst the wealthy are free to engage in corrupter sins.

B in Richardson's novel, Lady Booby finds Joseph's Christian commitment to pre-marital chastity unwavering. From: Virtuous Volumes et al. Having therefore quitted her presence, he retired into his own garret, and entered himself into an ejaculation on the numberless calamities which attended beauty, and the misfortune it was to be handsomer than one's neighbours. Adams therefore took an opportunity one day, after a pretty long discourse with her on the essence or, as she pleased to term it, the incence of matter, to mention the case of young Andrews; desiring her to recommend him to her lady as a youth very susceptible of learning, and one whose instruction in Latin he would himself undertake; by which means he might be qualified for a higher station than that of a footman; and added, she knew it was in his master's power easily to provide for him in a better manner. During the first six days the poor lady admitted none but Mrs. Rather he gives a graphic, humourous and insightful glimpse of eighteenth century rural shenanigans. But the third volume of the Miscellanies deserved a less modest and gregarious appearance, for it contained, and is wholly occupied by, the wonderful and terrible satire of Jonathan Wild , the greatest piece of pure irony in English out of Swift. I fear, too, that he was incapable of appreciating it for reasons other than political.

  • FIELDING Henry Austin Dobson
    FIELDING Henry Austin Dobson CHAPTER I. EARLY YEARS—FIRST PLAYS. LIKE his contemporary Smollett, Henry Fielding came of an ancient family, and might, in his Horatian moods, have traced his origin to Inachus. The lineage of the house of Denbigh, as given in Burke, fully justifies the splendid but sufficiently quoted eulogy of Gibbon. From that first Jeffrey of Hapsburgh, who came to England, temp. Henry III., and assumed the name of Fieldeng, or Filding, “from his father‟s pretensions to the dominions of Lauffenbourg and Rinfilding,” the future novelist could boast a long line of illustrious ancestors. There was a Sir William Feilding killed at Tewkesbury, and a Sir Everard who commanded at Stoke. Another Sir William, a staunch Royalist, was created Earl of Denbigh, and died in fighting King Charles‟s battles. Of his two sons, the elder, Basil, who succeeded to the title, was a Parliamentarian, and served at Edgehill under Essex. George, his second son, was raised to the peerage of Ireland as Viscount Callan, with succession to the earldom of Desmond; and from this, the younger branch of the Denbigh family, Henry Fielding directly descended. The Earl of Desmond's fifth son, John, entered the Church, becoming Canon of Salisbury and Chaplain to William III. By his wife Bridget, daughter of Scipio Cockain, Esq., of Somerset, he had three sons and three daughters. Edmund, the third son, was a soldier, who fought with distinction under Marlborough. When about the age of thirty, he married Sarah, daughter of Sir Henry Gould, Knt., of Sharpham Park, near Glastonbury, in Somerset, and one of the Judges of the King‟s Bench.

  • Errors and Reconciliations: Marriage in the Plays and Early Novels of Henry Fielding
    ERRORS AND RECONCILIATIONS: MARRIAGE IN THE PLAYS AND EARLY NOVELS OF HENRY FIELDING ANACLARA CASTRO SANTANA SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis explores Henry Fielding’s fascination with marriage, and the importance of the marriage plot in his plays and early novels. Its main argument is twofold: it contends that Fielding presents marriage as symptomatic of moral and social evils on the one hand, and as a powerful source of moral improvement on the other. It also argues that the author imported and adapted the theatrical marriage plot—a key diegetic structure of stage comedies of the early eighteenth century—into his prose fictions. Following the hypothesis that this was his favourite narrative vehicle, as it proffered harmony between form and content, the thesis illustrates the ways in which Fielding transposed some of the well-established dramatic conventions of the marriage plot into the novel, a genre that was gaining in cultural status at the time. The Introduction provides background information for the study of marriage in Fielding’s work, offering a brief historical contextualization of marital laws and practices before the Marriage Act of 1753. Section One presents close readings of ten representative plays, investigating the writer’s first discovery of the theatrical marriage plot, and the ways in which he appropriated and experimented with it. The four chapters that compose the second part of the thesis trace the interrelated development of the marriage plot and theatrical motifs in Fielding’s early novels, namely Shamela (1741), Joseph Andrews (1742), Jonathan Wild (1743), and The Female Husband (1746).

He is credited with two major contributions to the field of policing (Gaines et al.). First, Fielding advocated change and spread awareness about social and criminal problems through his writings. Second, he organized a group of paid non uniformed citizens who were responsible for investigating crimes and prosecuting offenders. This group, called the Bow Street Runners, was the first group paid through public funds that emphasized crime prevention in addition to crime investigation and apprehension of criminals.

Yet parliament passed a policing act in 1792 that established seven new «public offices» in London that were to be (along with the Bow Street magistrates’ office) under the direction of the Home Office. Each of these public offices – or «police offices», as they were also called – was to be led by three salaried magistrates who together were to monopolize the prosecution of crime in the metropolis, outside the City of London; all other justices of the peace and their clerks were henceforth prohibited from receiving fees for conducting business other than the licensing of alehouses.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i i Abstract Henry Fielding's Use of Satire Poet, playwright, journalist, and novelist, Henry Fielding pro• duced a striking variety of works in his literary career. A large portion of these works are filled with satire. The numerous farces, burlesques and comedies Fielding produced as a dramatist relied heavily for their appeal on the social, literary and political satire they con• tained. The irony and derision in these works was directed at specific elements in his society which Fielding felt merited exposure. His pose was that of the Augustan satirist ridiculing the folly he witnessed around him. Fielding's first attempts at prose were also satirical, with many of the targets the same as those he had attacked in his plays.
