David Nokes; Henry Fielding: Joseph Andrews
Penguin ISBN 0-14-077244-8
"'Joseph Andrews brings together a range of literary forms from Spectator essays to Hogarthian caricatures . . .
' . . . in a fictional structure whose main controlling device is not a story but the confident voice of the narrator,' writes David Nokes in this illuminating introduction to Fielding's first novel. Here he discusses Joseph Andrews as blithe comedy underpinned by a precise and serious morality, and a satiric portrait of England that also embodies a critique of the psychological introspection beloved by his great rival Samuel richardson."
