A Political Biography of Sarah Fielding provides the most complete
discussion of Fielding's works and career currently available.
Tracing the development of Fielding's artistic and instructive
agendas from her earliest publications forward, Johnson presents a
compelling portrait of a deeply read author who sought to claim a
place within literary culture for women's experiences. As a
practical didacticist, Fielding sought to teach her readers to live
happier, more fulfilling lives by appropriating and at times
resisting the texts that defined their culture. While Fielding
often retreats from the overtly political concerns that captured
the attention of her contemporaries, her works are daring forays
into the public sphere that both challenge and reinforce the
foundations of British society. Giving voice to those who have been
marginalized, Fielding's creative productions are at once
conservative and radical, revealing her ambiguous appreciation for
tradition, her fears of modernity, and her abiding commitment to
women who must live within forever imperfect worlds.
