The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by the English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. The novel is both a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. First published on 28 February 1749 in London, Tom Jones is among the earliest English prose works describable as a novel, and is the earliest novel mentioned by W. Somerset Maugham in his 1948 book Great Novelists and Their Novels among the ten best novels of the world. Totaling 346,747 words, it is divided into 18 smaller books, each preceded by a discursive chapter, often on topics unrelated to the book itself. It is dedicated to George Lyttleton. Though lengthy, the novel is highly organised; S. T. Coleridge argued that it has one of the "three most perfect plots ever planned." Although critic Samuel Johnson took exception to Fielding's "robust distinctions between right and wrong", it became a best seller, with four editions being published in its first year alone. Tom Jones is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book, and as a very influential English nove

El Alcance Literario y Musical de la Historia de la vida de Jonathan Wild La ejecución de Wild fue un acto público notable, y se vendieron entradas con anticipación para los mejores puntos de observación. Incluso en un año con un gran número de acontecimientos macabros, el público reunido en aquella ocasión era una multitud particularmente numerosa e histérica. El joven de 18 años Henry Fielding estaba presente. Wild iba acompañado de William Sperry, Robert Sandford y Robert Harpham, tres de los cuatro prisioneros que habían sido condenados a morir con Wild unos días antes. Debido a que estaba fuertemente drogado, fue el último en morir después de los demás. A diferencia de la ejecución de Sheppard, no hubo ningún incidente entre la multitud. A mitad de la noche, el cuerpo de Wild fue enterrado en secreto en el patio de la iglesia St. Pancras Old, al lado de Elizabeth Mann, su tercera mujer y una de sus muchas amantes. Ella había muerto en 1718, y él había expresado su deseo de ser enterrado allí. Su enterramiento fue sólo temporal. Durante el s. XIX la investigación sobre cadáveres estaba en pleno florecimiento, y las disecciones y autopsias de criminales célebres revestían un valor científico especial. El cuerpo de Wild fue exhumado y vendido al Real Colegio de Cirugía, y su esqueleto aún se exhibe en el Museo Hunterian de Lincoln's Inn Fields. Jonathan Wild es famoso hoy en día no tanto por ser el ejemplo de crimen organizado como por el tratamiento que los escritores satíricos hicieron de su historia. Se convirtió en un símbolo de corrupción e hipocresía. Cuando Wild fue colgado, los periódicos se llenaron de relatos de su vida, recopilación de sus dichos y discursos de despedida. Daniel Defoe escribió un relato para el "Applebee's Journal" en Mayo y luego publicó "True and Genuine Account of the Life and Actions of the Late Jonathan Wild" en Junio de 1725. Su trabajo compitió con otro que alegaba ofrecer extractos de los diarios de J.Wild. La biografía de un criminal era un género que ya existía por entonces. Estas obras eran populares entonces, como lo son ahora, porque ofrecían un relato de necesidad, pérdida de la inocencia, sexo, violencia y luego arrepentimiento o un lacrimoso final. La fascinación pública con el lado oscuro de la naturaleza humana, y con las causas del mal, nunca se ha desvanecido. En 1743 La Historia de la Vida del difunto señor Jonathan Wild el Grande (The History of The Life of The Late Mr. Jonathan Wild The Great) apareció en el tercer volumen de "Miscellanies" de Henry Fielding. Fielding fue despiadado en su ataque contra Walpole. En su trabajo, Wild sustituye directamente a Walpole, y, en particular, invoca el lenguaje de Walpole del "Gran Hombre". Así se referían a Walpole los escritores whig y, satíricamente, los escritores tory, y Fielding tiene a su Wild constantemente esforzándose, con estúpida violencia, por ser "Grande". "La grandeza", según Fielding, "sólo se logra alcanzando lo alto de una escalera" (la de la horca). La sátira de Fielding también consistentemente ataca al partido whig haciendo que Wild escoja, entre todos los términos propios de ladrones (léxicos de este tipo aparecieron con las "Lives of Wild" en 1725), "prig" (mojigato) para referirse a la profesión de los que se dedican a robar en las casas. Fielding sugiere que para Wild, convertirse en un "Gran Prig" es lo mismo que para Walpole convertirse en un "Gran Whig" el robo y el partido whig nunca fueron relacionados tan directamente. Más recientemente, Jonathan Wild aparece como personaje en la novela de David Liss titulada "Una Conspiración de Papel" (Suma De Letras, S.L., 2002; Alfaguara, S.A., 2001).

The various accidents which befel a very worthy couple after their uniting in the state of matrimony will be the subject of the following history. The distresses which they waded through were some of them so exquisite, and the incidents which produced these so extraordinary, that they seemed to require not only the utmost malice, but the utmost invention, which superstition hath ever attributed to Fortune: though whether any such being interfered in the case, or, indeed, whether there be any such being in the universe, is a matter which I by no means presume to determine in the affirmative. To speak a bold truth, I am, after much mature deliberation, inclined to suspect that the public voice hath, in all ages, done much injustice to Fortune, and hath convicted her of many facts in which she had not the least concern. I question much whether we may not, by natural means, account for the success of knaves, the calamities of fools, with all the miseries in which men of sense sometimes involve themselves, by quitting the directions of Prudence, and following the blind guidance of a predominant passion; in short, for all the ordinary phenomena which are imputed to Fortune; whom, perhaps, men accuse with no less absurdity in life, than a bad player complains of ill luck at the game of chess.

Joseph Andrews, or The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and of his Friend Mr. Abraham Adams, was the first published full-length novel of the English author and magistrate Henry Fielding, and indeed among the first novels in the English language. Published in 1742 and defined by Fielding as a "comic epic poem in prose", it is the story of a good-natured footman's adventures on the road home from London with his friend and mentor, the absent-minded parson Abraham Adams. The novel represents the coming together[citation needed] of the two competing aesthetics of eighteenth-century literature: the mock-heroic and neoclassical (and, by extension, aristocratic) approach of Augustans such as Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift; and the popular, domestic prose fiction of novelists such as Daniel Defoe and Samuel Richardson. The novel draws on a variety of inspirations. Written "in imitation of the manner of Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote" (see title page on right), the work owes much of its humour to the techniques developed by Cervantes, and its subject-matter to the seemingly loose arrangement of events, digressions and lower-class characters to the genre of writing known as picaresque. In deference to the literary tastes and recurring tropes of the period, it relies on bawdy humour, an impending marriage and a mystery surrounding unknown parentage, but conversely is rich in philosophical digressions, classical erudition and social purpose.

The Old Debauchees. A Comedy by Henry Fielding
