Omschrijving

The History of Joseph Andrews is a novel written by Henry Fielding in 1742. The book follows the story of Joseph Andrews, a young man who works as a servant for a wealthy family. When he is dismissed from his job, Joseph sets out on a journey to return home to his sweetheart, Fanny Goodwill. Along the way, he encounters a series of adventures and misadventures, including being robbed and nearly seduced by a wealthy woman.Fielding uses the novel as a platform to satirize the social and political issues of his time, including corruption, hypocrisy, and class inequality. The book is also notable for its use of parody and irony, as well as its innovative narrative style, which incorporates elements of both comedy and tragedy.The History of Joseph Andrews is considered a precursor to Fielding's more famous novel, Tom Jones, and is often cited as one of the earliest examples of the English novel. It has been praised for its humor, its vivid characters, and its insightful commentary on the society of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
