FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST FULL NOVEL BY HENRY FIELDING AND VERY EARLY AMONG THE MODERN NOVELS PUBLISHED IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Fielding called this his "comic epic poem in prose" and it embodies two aesthetics of period literature; being both neoclassical and mock-heroic. Fielding states that the work is an "imitation of the manner of Cervantes" and it does indeed owe much of its humor to Cervantean techniques. But it was Samuel Richardson and the cultural phenomenon caused by Richardson's PAMELA that Fielding had centered in his cross-hairs within the first few chapters Richardson is parodied mercilessly.<br> Fielding claims in his preface that his impetus for writing the novel was to establish a literary genre "which I do not remember to have been hitherto attempted in our language." He defined this as a "comic epic-poem in prose" being a work of prose fiction epic in length and varied in chapter; making this a very early example of what we would now call a modern English novel.<br> Thematically JOSEPH ANDREWS tells of a good-natured footman and his friend and mentor Abraham Adams. Andrews is the brother of Richardson's Pamela. Joseph shares his sister's commitment to premarital chastity and also like Pamela has caught the eye of someone the Lady Booby intent on seducing it away from him. What follows is a bawdy tale of impending marriages confused parentage various twists and turns of social standings and of course true love.<br> First Issue with the following points as called for: Vol. I p.159.8 “issomething; p. 245.-3 ‘dans’ for ‘Adams’ p. 308 numbered 306; Vol. II p. 241 for 214 p. 14.9 ’ threarned’ for’ threatened’ p. 57.21 ‘thent hese’ for ‘than these’ p. 93.-3 ‘mead s’ for ‘meadows’ p. 221.2 ‘t’ of ‘not’ up one line p. 235.11 ‘f rom’ has the unwanted space. <br> Bibliography:: First Edition “Published 22 Feb. 1742 with a run of 1500 copies; 2nd Edition.

174524706London: M. Cooper 1745. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. Hardback. A very good copy in a modern full calf binding with title on spine in gilt on a maroon title-piece. Five raised bands on spine. Ownership inscription on front free end-paper. Half-title present. Generally clean but with a little foxing to early pages. What appears to be minor worming at the foot of some pages. Pp.iv47. The title continues: "In which is a full Account of the Conduct of this Young Invader from his first Arrival in Scotland; with the several Progresses he made there; and likewise a very particular RELATION of the Battle of Preston with an exact List of the Slain Wouinded and Prisoners on both Sides. Taken from the Relation of Mr. JAMES MACPHERSON who was an Eye-Witness of the Whole and who took the first Opportunity of leaving the Rebels into whose Service he was forced and in which he had a Captain's Commission." Fielding the famous novelist and dramatist and author of "Tom Jones" was strongly anti-Jacobite. He published this one of his scarcest works anonymously. James MacPherson the Jacobite Captain whose account of the Rebellion is supposed to form the basis of the Work was not in fact a real person but was a figment of Fielding's imagination.
