"The Real History of Tom Jones" revivifies historical materials
from which Henry Fielding constructed the greatest comic novel of
the eighteenth century. This study recovers and explores the
contexts necessary to understand Fielding's subtle art, such as the
bloody conflict for the throne between Stuarts and Hanoverians, a
contradictory class system, game laws that both protected and
flouted individual property rights, and a justice system that
proclaimed hanging for many crimes but let most criminals go.
Drawing on evidence such as the peculiar appearance of
eighteenth-century money, the fraudulent autobiography of a gypsy
king, and a magical prayer book illustration, the book offers new
readings of both "Tom Jones" and the political and legal landscape
of Georgian England.
