Joseph Andrews

Joseph Andrews

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p> <em>Joseph Andrews</em>, first published in 1742, is in part a parody of Samuel Richardson’s <em>Pamela</em>. But whereas Richardson’s novel is marked by the virtues of female chastity and the triumph of steadfast morality, Fielding’s <em>Joseph Andrews</em> is peopled with lascivious women, thieves, hypocrites, and general fools. As we follow the characters in their travels, what unfolds is a lively panoramic satire of mid-Georgian England. </p>
