Henry Fielding (1707-54) began his writing career as a playwright
and before the age of 30 produced a great number of comedies,
farces and burlesques. His wit was already apparent, and his
admirers included Swift who particularly enjoyed his "Tom Thumb".
His "Pasquin, A Dramatick Satire on the Times" was in part
responsible for the ensuing restrictive censorship of plays with
the Licensing Act of 1737. Fielding practised at law, wrote essays
and poems, ran a few journals - but remains most famous for his
novels. He began "Joseph Andrews" as a parody of the sentimentalism
of Richardson's "Pamela", and quickly developed his humourous and
satirical style in "Tom Jones", "Jonathan Wild" and "Amelia".
Admired by writers and readers alike, Fielding is one of the true
founders of the English novel whose influence can be traced into
the 19th century and the works of Dickens and Thackeray. This boxed
collection of ten volumes includes all his work and a biographical
essay.
