About this book

Joseph Andrews, Volume 2 concludes the 1742 novel by Henry Fielding (1707-1754), the playwright turned novelist who later served as a London magistrate. The full work, The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and of His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams, began as a parody of Samuel Richardson's Pamela: Joseph is Pamela's brother, a footman who fends off the advances of Lady Booby. Fielding described the book as a comic epic-poem in prose, and this second volume carries Joseph, Fanny Goodwill, and the absent-minded Parson Adams through roadside misadventures to the closing revelations about Joseph's true parentage. It set the pattern Fielding perfected in Tom Jones and helped shape the English comic novel.
