Henry "Feilding" Fielding Henry Fielding was born at Wedmore, England on 22 April 1707, the first child of Edmund Fielding and Sarah Gould Fielding. Their marriage had been highly disapproved of by Sarah's parents on the grounds that Edmund was too poor and couldn't even manage what little money he did have but Sarah would listen to none of that. They had seven children before Sarah died . When Henry was twelve, his father remarried, an Italian woman who was rumored to be a Catholic who kept an eating-house . Henry had been raised (by his father, ironically enough) to really dislike Catholics, so you can imagine the atmosphere around that house. Henry's maternal grandmother eventually sued for custody of Henry and his siblings, and won. Surrounded by females and one much younger brother, Henry grew up wild and willful, not to mention prone to brawling At 21, Henry went to the continent to attend the University of Leiden in Holland, because it was much cheaper than any of the London schools. Eventually, though, he couldn't even afford Leiden and had to go back to London with all kinds of unpaid debts behind him . London was good to him, though...between the ages of 22 and 30, Henry managed to make quite a good living as a writer of farces and comedies

The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews (and His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams) Author Info: Henry Fielding So I was getting ready to reread Don Quijote Miguel de Cervantes 1547-1616)(see Orrin's review ) in the excellent Burton Raffel translation and as I was looking for information about the book and author, saw repeated references to Fielding's Joseph Andrews . I'd read his Tom Jones a couple of years ago and found it kind of tough sledding, but when I stumbled upon this one at a library book sale for a quarter, it seemed a stroke of destiny. The parallels with Don Quijote I've seen this referred to as the first modern novel; I'm not sure why, in light of it's obvious debt to Cervantes. But it does combine those quixotic elements with a seemingly accurate portrayal of 18th Century English manners and the central concern with identity and status do place it squarely in the modern tradition. At any rate, it is very funny and, for whatever reason, seemed a much easier read than Tom Jones . I recommend it unreservedly.

Henry Fielding British novelist and dramatist. Fielding was born near Glastonbury in Somerset in 1707 and was educated at Eton College. After a romantic episode with a young woman which ended in his getting into trouble with the law, he went to London where his literary career began. In 1728, he travelled to Leiden to study. On his return, he began writing for the theatre, some of his work being savagely critical of the then government under Sir Robert Walpole. The Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737 was a direct result of his activities, and forced him to retire from the theatre and to embark on a career in law. However, he continued to write and his first major success being a parody of Samuel Richardson's melodramatic novel, Pamela . He followed this up with Joseph Andrews (1742), an original work in a similar vein. On the death of his first wife, Mary, in 1744, Fielding disregarded public opinion by marrying her maid. Despite this, he became a magistrate and his literary career went from strength to strength. However, his health had deteriorated to such an extent that he went abroad in search of a cure. He died in Lisbon in 1754.

Henry Fielding Playwright and novelist, born at Sharpham Park, Glastonbury, Somerset, SW England, UK. He studied at Leyden, and began to write theatrical comedies, becoming author/manager of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket (1736). However, the sharpness of his burlesques led to the Licensing Act (1737), which closed his theatre. In search of an alternative career, he was called to the bar (1740), but his interests lay in journalism and fiction. On Richardson's publication of Pamela (1740), he wrote his famous parody, Joseph Andrews (1742). Several other works followed, notably The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling (1749). which established his reputation as a founder of the English novel. As a reward for his government journalism, he was made justice of the peace to Westminster, where he helped to form the Bow Street Runners within the police force. Of Love Biographies Library

Henry Fielding (1707-1754) British Novelist, Dramatist Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not. It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived. Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humoured, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich - that one word contradicts everything you can say against him. Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of. Authors Quotes and Quotations Email this to a Friend
