- Double-weighted statement
- This is a 100,000-word monograph, which considers Henry Fielding's engagement with classical literature and scholarship as well as with the previous generation of satirists. It offers an extended analysis of each of Fielding's novels, together with substantial chapters on the work of Jonathan Swift, John Gay, and Alexander Pope. It is an interdisciplinary work, drawing on both eighteenth-century and contemporary classical scholarship in order to illuminate the cultural and literary debates of the period 1700-1760.
