Henry Fielding was a British novelist and playwright, born on April 22, 1707 in Sharpham Park, Somerset, England, and died on October 8, 1754 in Lisbon, Portugal. Fielding enrolled in Eton College, but he departed prematurely and forfeited his family’s financial assistance. Throughout his collection of 25 plays, which were composed in his early years, he mostly focused on satirising political corruption. Due to the incisive nature of his comments, he was ultimately expelled from the stage. Subsequently, he pursued a career in the field of law. In 1748, he was designated as a magistrate, with the responsibility of instituting a novel standard of justice and the curbing of criminal activities in London. It is likely that he authored Shamela (1741), a parody of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, which he never took credit for. In Joseph Andrews (1742), Fielding similarly satirises Richardson’s novel. Tom Jones (1749), his most renowned piece, is distinguished for its remarkable comedic enthusiasm, extensive array of characters, and juxtaposed depictions of upper and lower social classes. Amelia (1751) exhibits characteristics that foreshadow the Victorian home story. Through these literary works, he played a significant role in advancing the English novel as a deliberate and authentic narrative genre that examines and portrays the society of the day.
