Esta edición de Oxford World's Classics presenta las obras de Henry Fielding, 'Joseph Andrews' (1742) y 'Shamela' (1741), inspiradas en la novela 'Pamela' de Samuel Richardson. 'Shamela' es una parodia ingeniosa y audaz. Ambas obras reflejan la preocupación de Fielding por la corrupción en la sociedad contemporánea, la política, la religión, la moralidad y el gusto. Esta edición revisada y ampliada sigue el texto de 'Joseph Andrews' establecido por Martin C. Battestin y se basa en la primera edición de 'Shamela'. Incluye apéndices con material preliminar de 'La vida de Cicerón' de Conyers Middleton y la segunda edición de 'Pamela' de Richardson. La introducción de Thomas Keymer sitúa las obras de Fielding en sus contextos críticos e históricos.
Henry Fielding was an English writer and judge known for the use of humour and satire in his works. His famous novels include Shamela (1741), Joseph Andrews (1742), The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749) and Amelia (1751). Along with Samuel Richardson, Fielding is seen as the founder of the traditional English novel. As well as being a novelist, Fielding was also a playwright, known for his satirical comedies The Author's Farce (1730), Tom Thumb (1730), The Letter Writers (1731) and The Tragedy of Tragedies (1731). He also played an important role in the history of law enforcement in the United Kingdom, using his authority as a magistrate to found the Bow Street Runners, London's first professional police force.
