Joseph Andrews and ShamelaAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Thursday 12 June 2008
Description
Both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) were prompted by the success of Richardsons Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy parody. In both works Fielding demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste. This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fieldings works. The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middletons Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardsons Pamela (both closely parodied in Shamela). A new introduction by Thomas Keymer situates Fieldings works in their critical and historical contexts.
