Journal Entry 1 by wingBookworm-ladywing from Madrid, Madrid Spain on Monday, January 8, 2018
"Henry Fielding (1707-54) turned to novel writing when his outspoken satirical plays so annoyed Walpole's government that a new Licensing Act was introduced to drive him from the stage."

"He began with Shamela (1741), a brilliant parody of Samuel Richardson's Pamela; Fielding's far more spirited and sexually honest heroine, by contrast, merely uses coyness and mock modesty as techniques to catch a rich husband."

"Joseph Andrews (1742), Fielding's first full-length novel, can also be seen as a response to Richardson, as the lascivious Lady Booby sets out to seduce her comically chaste servant Joseph (himself in love with the much-put-upon Fanny Goodwill)."
