Description: Joseph Andrews and Shamela : The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and of His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams and an Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews, Paperback by Fielding, Henry; Brooks-Davis, Douglas (EDT); Keymer, Thomas (INT), ISBN 0199536988, ISBN-13 9780199536986, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Henry Fielding wrote both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) in response to Samuel Richardsons book Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy travesty. Joseph Andrews begins as a parody, too, but soon outgrows its origins, and its deepest roots lie in Cervantes and Marivaux.
In both stories, Fielding demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste.
This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fieldings works. The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from the second edition
of Richardsons Pamela and Conyers Middletons Life of Cicero, which is also closely parodied in Shamela. This Oxford Worlds Classics edition also features a new introduction by Thomas Keymer which situates Fieldings works in their critical and historical contexts.
