About this book

The great comic novelist Henry Fielding offers a witty, free adaptation of Ovid's Art of Love, translating the Roman poet's playful advice on courtship and charm into the manners and idiom of eighteenth-century England. Sparkling with humor and mischief, it pairs classical poetry with Fielding's own irreverent commentary and satire of contemporary society. Lighthearted and clever, the work showcases the comic gifts of one of the founders of the English novel in a very different key. A charming literary curiosity, The Lover's Assistant blends ancient wit with Georgian comedy in a droll and entertaining guide to the timeless game of love.
