Joseph Andrews and Shamela by Henry Fielding (English) Paperback Book

Description: Joseph Andrews and Shamela by Henry Fielding, Thomas Keymer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description I beg as soon as you get Fieldings Joseph Andrews, I fear in Ridicule of your Pamela and of Virtue in the Notion of Don Quixotes Manner, you would send it to me by the very first Coach. (George Cheyne in a letter to Samuel Richardson, February 1742) Both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) were prompted by the success of Richardsons Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy parody. But in Shamela Fielding also demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste. The same themes - together with a presentation of love as charity, as friendship, and in its sexual taste - are present in Joseph Andrews, Fieldings first novel. It is a work of considerable literary sophistication and satirical verve, but its appeal lies also in its spirit of comic affirmation, epitomized in the celebrated character of Parson Adams. This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fieldings works.The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middletons Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardsons Pamela (both closely parodied in Shamela). A new introduction by Thomas Keymer situates Fieldings works in their critical and historical contexts.
