B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Henry Fielding (1707-1754) British writer, playwright and journalist, founder of the English Realistic school in literature with Samuel Richardson. Fielding's career as a dramatist has been shadowed by his career as a novelist. His aim as a novelist was to write comic epic poems in prose - he once described himself as "great, tattered bard." "When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough;
I've done my duty, and I've done no more."

(from Tom Thumb the Great Henry Fielding was born at Sharpham Park, Somerset. He was by birth a gentleman, close allied to the aristocracy. His father was a nephew of the 3th Earl of Denbigha, and mother was from a prominent family of lawyers. Fielding grew up on his parents farm at East Stour, Dotset. His mother died when Fielding was eleven, and when his father remarried, Henry was sent to Eton. He studied at Eton College (1719-1724), where he learned to love ancient Greek and Roman literature. Encouraged by his cousin, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Fielding started his career as a writer in London. In 1728 he wrote two plays, of which LOVE IN SEVERAL MASQUES was successfully performed at Drury Lane. In the same year he went to the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, enlarging his knowledge of classical literature. After returning to England, he devoted himself to writing for the stage. Fielding also became a manager of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket. In 1730 he had four plays produced, among them TOM THUMB, which is his most famous and popular drama. According to a story, it made Swift laugh for the second time in his life. In 1736 Fielding took over the management of the New Theatre, writing for it among others the satirical comedy PASQUIN. For several years Fielding's life was happy and prosperous.

Henry Fielding was born in Glastonbury in Somerset in 1707. The son of a army lieutenant and a judge's daughter, he was educated at Eton School and the University of Leiden before returning to England where he wrote a series of farces, operas and light comedies.
Fielding formed his own company and was running the Little Theatre, Haymarket, when one of his satirical plays began to upset the government. The passing of the Theatrical Licensing Act in 1737 effectively ended Fielding's career as a playwright.
In 1739 Fielding turned to journalism and became editor of The Champion . He also began writing novels, including:

Henry "Feilding" Fielding
Henry Fielding was born at Wedmore, England on 22 April 1707, the first child of Edmund Fielding and Sarah Gould Fielding. Their marriage had been highly disapproved of by Sarah's parents on the grounds that Edmund was too poor and couldn't even manage what little money he did have but Sarah would listen to none of that. They had seven children before Sarah died . When Henry was twelve, his father remarried, an Italian woman who was rumored to be a Catholic who kept an eating-house . Henry had been raised (by his father, ironically enough) to really dislike Catholics, so you can imagine the atmosphere around that house. Henry's maternal grandmother eventually sued for custody of Henry and his siblings, and won. Surrounded by females and one much younger brother, Henry grew up wild and willful, not to mention prone to brawling At 21, Henry went to the continent to attend the University of Leiden in Holland, because it was much cheaper than any of the London schools. Eventually, though, he couldn't even afford Leiden and had to go back to London with all kinds of unpaid debts behind him . London was good to him, though...between the ages of 22 and 30, Henry managed to make quite a good living as a writer of farces and comedies

    Henry Fielding
    Henry Fielding is regarded as one of the greatest artists among English novelists of the eighteenth century and was instrumental in the emergence of the novel as a respected literary form. A debate has long raged regarding the relative merits of the novelistic forms developed almost simultaneously by Fielding and the London printer Samuel Richardson. Very different in upbringing and temperament, their literary innovations in prose fiction were often conceived in response to each other. While hardly the libertine he was long portrayed as being, Fielding certainly believed in enjoying life to the full. As opposed to the middle-class Richardson, Fielding came of a genteel family and enjoyed an excellent education. He was born April 22, 1707, at Sharpham Park in Somerset, and was related to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Earl of Denbigh. In April, 1718, Henry's mother died and his father, Colonel Edmund Fielding, went away to London, leaving the children in the care of his in-laws, the Gould family. A year later Colonel Fielding married an Italian widow and attempted to regain custody of his children from his mother-in-law, Lady Gould. This led to a lengthy law-suit which was finally settled in 1722, granting Lady Gould the custody of her grandchildren and securing their mother's estate for Henry and his sisters. After attending Eton, Fielding courted a young heiress, Miss Sarah Andrew of Lyme Regis, but failed to persuade her to elope with him. In 1727, his family lost much of their money through the dishonesty of a broker, and the young Fielding found himself in need of an income. Drama was the most lucrative genre of the time, and Fielding took advantage of his London connections, particularly Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, to gain an introduction to theater circles there. His first play

    AN EXPLANATION... I have time enough to create only brief notes for Fielding and Joseph Andrews , unlike the discussion of Defoe. These notes reproduce the introductory lecture I gave in class.
    GENERAL COMMENTS Henry Fielding influenced the main tradition of the English novel through the eighteenth century (e.g., Smollett) and the nineteenth century (e.g., Dickens and Thackeray). With the tightly structured Tom Jones , in which every detail has a purpose, Fielding contributed a sense of structure to the development of the English novel; some critics have called it one of the best plotted novels in English, despite a lengthy interpolated story, "The Man on the Hill." With the character Tom Jones, he introduced a new kind of fictional hero–a good hearted, well intentioned, generous young man with ordinary human weakness, one who yields to temptation with women and to make errors in judgement. With his theories of the novel, expressed primarily in Joseph Andrews , Fielding attempted to give dignity and status to the new genre of the novel by relating it to the classical epic.

  • A Bio-bibliographical note about Henry Fielding
    "Henry Fielding (1707-1754) was born at Sharpham Park in Somerset in 1707. In London, between 1729 and 1739, he wrote some twenty-five dramatic pieces including a series of topical satires which lampooned Sir Robert Walpole and his government. It was partly as a reaction to these that Walpole introduced the Stage Licensing Act in 1737, which effectively ended Fielding's career as a dramatist. "His novel writing career began with Shamela in 1741, a burlesque written in reaction to what he saw as the smug morality propounded by Richardson's Pamela . In the following year he published his own alternative conception of the art and purpose of the novel, Joseph Andrews , which achieved immediate popularity. "His masterpiece Tom Jones , one of the great comic novels in English literature, was published in 1749. Partly in recognition of his work as a political journalist Fielding was commissioned as a justice of the peace for Westminster and, despite his rapidly degenerating health, he devoted the last years of his life to fighting crime. He died in Lisbon on 8 October 1754."

    I have always thought love the only foundation of happiness in a married state . . . and in my opinion all these marriages which are contracted from other motives are greatly criminal . . . To deny that beauty is an agreeable object to the eye . . . would be false and foolish . . . But to make this the sole consideration of marriage, to lust after it so violently as . . . to reject and disdain religion, virtue and sense . . . is surely inconsistent . . . either with a wise man or a good Christian
    Henry Fielding 1707-1754
    Although Fielding wrote many literary works I am going to deal mainly with his major novels, Joseph Andrews, Tom Jones, Amelia , and his shorter satirical work Shamela . All of these works contain a strong moral message, but the moral message is not entirely consistent, and is presented in various ways.
