Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, , language: English, abstract: Fielding is often considered one of the most significant contributors to the development of the English novel. His nearly seamless incorporation of drama, satire, romance, and epic into his works helped distinguish the novel as a new and unique genre quite distinct from its early influences. Fielding's long and bitter feud with rival novelist Samuel Richardson also contributed to the development of the novel form: opposed to the didactic tone and unrealistic characters and situations of his contemporaries, Fielding infused the novel with compassion, comedy, and a heightened sense of realism. His comic sense is deep and sometimes under it very serious themes may appear. Although Fielding's lasting reputation rests on his major novels, he was also a popular and important playwright, an influential journalist, and one of England's leading judicial reformers. In all of his writing, Fielding demonstrated a concern with social and moral hypocrisy, attacking not only Richardson but also dramatist and Poet Laureate Colley Cibber and Prime Minister Robert Walpole for what he considered their failure to deal openly with serious social issues, whether in literary works or as a government official. Nowadays his novels and his humor became popular again and in this work author is going to look deeply in one of the comic literary works”The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Henry Fielding: Complete in One Volume, With Memoir of the Author The objects, however, of Fielding's satire were always of a legitimate kind; and in no part of his works do we find anything like a sneer, either against religion or virtue. His farces partook all of the same character; they were admirable burlesque representations, and they were almost invariably successful. The production only of two or three mornings, and struck off in the heat of the moment, they nevertheless pleased the public, and still con tinne to enliven our winters on the stage, by the exquisite manner in which they hit the object at which they are aimed. The representations, says Bishop Hurd, of common nature may either be taken accurately, so as to reflect a faithful and exact image of their original, which alone is that I should call comedy or they may be forced or overcharged above the simple and just proportions of nature, as when the excesses of a few are given for standing cha racters; when not the man in general, but the pas sion is described, or when, in the draught of the man, the leading feature is extended beyond mea sure; and in these cases, the representation holds of the province of farce. This is a just and accurate definition, and the farces of Fielding comprehend all that is required: the mock tragedy of Tom Thumb' is considered replete with as fine a parody as per haps has ever been written; the Lottery, ' The Intriguing Chambermaid, ' and the Virgin Un masked, ' besides the real entertainment they afford, had also, on their first appearance, the merit of bringing out the comic genius of some of our best actresses. Of Mrs. Clive in particular, the author observes in one of his prefaces I cannot help te flecting that the town has one obligation to me, who made the first discovery of your just capacity, and brought you earlier forward on the theatre than the ignorance of some, and the envy of others, would otherwise have permitted. I shall not here dwell on anything so well known as your theatrical merit; which one of the finest judges, and the greatest man of his age, hath acknowledged to exceed, in humour, that of any of your predecessors in his time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best remembered as the author of Joseph Andrews (1742), Tom Jones (1749) and Amelia (1751), Henry Fielding was one of the most important pioneering English novelists of the eighteenth century, and his works continue to occupy a central place in the literary canon. During the 1730s he was the most dominant playwright in London since John Dryden; and in his official capacity as a magistrate, he addressed serious social problems and invented the modern metropolitan police. This reference book makes essential information available to readers interested in Fielding, his life, and his works.
