    IF IT IS TRUE, as Addison observed in commencing The Spectator, a Reader seldom peruses a Book with Pleasure, 'till he knows whether the Writer of it be a black or a fair Man, Fielding's works have become classics of our literature despite a considerable handicap: we have had no very clear idea of how he looked. What were, literally, the aspect and complexion of the author of Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones, of Amelia and the stern social tracts of …

  • The Problem of Amelia

    Martin C BattestinARTICLEELH1974

    Most readers agree that Amelia (1751), though his favourite Child, represents a decline in Fielding's powers as a novelist. In less than three years' time the feast of life that he had celebrated in Tom Jones (1749) appears to have staled for him. His tone has become darker, more monitory, in keeping with his subject-no longer the follies of men, but their errors anccupidities and the doubtful efficacy of those institutions, the law and the churc…

  • The Transforming Power

    Martin C BattestinARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies1969

    POPE'S POETIC CAREER began, as it ended, with the idea of the Golden Age-not with the myth only, but with its profoundest implications for the poet and the man, inheritor of the classicism that governed his conception of art and of the great Christian humanist tradition that conditioned his view of life. The butt of one of history's happier ironies, Pope found himself a Romanist Virgil in no very Augustan time. Like Virgil he began hopefully enou…

  • Fielding's Definition of Wisdom

    Martin C BattestinARTICLEELH1968

    To alter the terms of his own simile for the ancient authors, Fielding's novels may be considered as a rich common, where every critic has a free right to fatten his bibliography. As the number of commentaries in recent years attests, Tom Jones offers an ample field for critical investigation, with many aspects requiring a variety of approaches. At present I wish to explore only two of these: the substance and the form of the novel's most importa…
