Excerpt from Henry Fielding: A Memoir, Including Newly Discovered Letters and Records With Illustrations From Contemporary Prints
Middlesex Records concerning his strenuous work as a London magistrate. The few letters by Fielding already known to exist have been doubled in number and a reason for the extraordinary rarity of these letters has been found in the unfortunate destruction, many years ago, of much of his correspondence. The charm of the one intimate letter that we possess from the pen of the Father of the English Novel,' that written to his brother John, during the voyage to Lisbon, enhances regret at the loss of these letters.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life of Henry Fielding, a key literary figure of the 18th century. The author draws on newly unearthed documents to present a fresh perspective on Fielding's character and the motivations behind his writing.

Through a close examination of Fielding's novels, plays, and journalism, the book delves into his literary genius and his profound understanding of society. It highlights Fielding's enduring legacy as the father of the English novel and his role in shaping modern perspectives on class, morality, and the role of literature in social reform.
