Joseph Andrews, Volume 2

Más información sobre el libro

Renowned for his earthy humor and satire, Fielding significantly shaped the English novel, with "Tom Jones" being a standout work. He co-founded the Bow Street Runners, marking a pivotal moment in law enforcement history. His involvement in theatre also led to the Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737, a direct response to his provocative plays, notably the unproduced "The Golden Rump." Fielding's contributions extend beyond literature, influencing both policing and theatrical regulation in 18th-century England.
