Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Fielding's Miscellanies, three volumes of poetry, essays, and satires, have never been studied in detail. Uneven in quality, often highly personal, they offer important insights into the concerns and growth of the English novelist. Mr. Miller has provided a reference guide to the First volume of the three, analyzing the writings and the intellectual traditions in which Fielding worked. Included in Volume One are poetry, formal essays, a translation from the Greek, and several satirical sketches and Lucianic dialogues. Here is Fielding experimenting with literary styles; adumbrated here are many of the themes and methods of the later novels, Tom Jones and Amelia in particular. In recording Fielding's intense moral concerns, his comic genius, and his ironic, incisive portraits of man and society, Volume One of the Miscellanies is a microcosm of his intellectual world. Originally published in 1961.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume Three of Henry Fielding's Miscellanies, first published as a three-volume set in 1743, consists in its entirety of a major work of fiction, The history of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great. Jonathan Wild takes its title from the `thief-taker' and gang-leader of that name who was hanged in 1725, but in Fielding's hands, the history of Wild is transformed into a mock-hostorical work of sustained irony aimed at all who would be `great men'. The general introduction to this edition sets the novel against its historical and biographical background and argues against the view, common since the mid-nineteenth century, that it is a personal satire directed at the figure of Sir Robert Walpole. In both the general and the textual introductions, the editors also offer a fresh view on questions about the date and history of the work's composition. Full explanatory notes and commentary place Fielding's allusions and details in their contemporary context. As in previous volumes of the Weslyan Edition, this provides critical, unmodernized text, based on the Greg-Bowers `Rationale of Copy-text'. The version is that of the first edition, with an appendix giving all variants in wording and presentation in the 1754 revision. In his introduction the textual editor lays out the rationale for his choice of version. This volume also includes, for the first time in modern edition, Fielding's list of subscribers to the Miscellanies, along with detailed biographical notes and an analysis of the subscription list by the textual editor.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Essays of Henry Fielding Edited With Introduction and Notes This selection of the essays of Henry Fielding is designed to introduce him as an essay writer rather than as a novelist. It is an attempt to show his mastery of prose style and vigorous thought, quite apart from his yet more extraordinary mastery of narrative. It may serve, I h0pe, to give a practical ac quaintance with the man and his work to some readers who for reasons of youth, or distaste, or the force of tradition have not yet learned their Fielding in his novels. Some may be genuinely surprised to find these essays unexceptionable in delicacy, not unfit reading oz'rgz'nz'ons pnerz'sgno; though lovers of Fielding's art do not need to be told that his coarsest passages are less liable to do harm than much of the meretri cions work that young misses and growing boys are nowadays permitted to read unblushingly and unthinkingly. This little book certainly contains nothing improper, and it has been made with the one idea of giving a representative selection of the essays. It contains by no means all of F ielding's work in this field, though perhaps the cream of it. In order to avoid the danger of scrappiness, the essays have been arranged notichronologically but with an attempt at logical sequence. Reference to the chronological list. At the end of the volume will show instantly whence any given selection is taken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
