Joseph Andrews

"Joseph Andrews" by Henry Fielding is a satirical novel that parodies the conventions of the sentimental novel popular in the 18th century. The eponymous hero, Joseph, is a virtuous footman who embarks on a series of comedic adventures. Fielding employs wit and humor to critique societal norms, class distinctions, and the hypocrisy of the time. As Joseph encounters various characters, including the amorous Lady Booby, the narrative unfolds with irony and clever commentary. A precursor to Fielding's more famous work, "Tom Jones," "Joseph Andrews" is a comedic romp filled with social satire and a keen understanding of human nature.
