Fielding Henry; Catucci M. (cur.) Title : Il Registro Storico del 1736-Euridice fischiata. Con l'album Fielding a teatro
Author: Fielding Henry; Catucci M. (cur.)
Publisher: Robin Edizioni

'Il Registro Storico del 1736.' Davanti allo sguardo del critico Sowrwit e all'ottusa frivolezza di Lord Dapper, spettatori della prova teatrale che in tal veste appaiono anche in Euridice fischiata, il fervido e ambiguo autore, Medley, propone la sua soggettiva epitome dell'anno 1736. Appaiono così, in successione, una riunione di politici còrsi, una conversazione di dame, un'asta pubblica, la prova di una rappresentazione teatrale, una ribellione di attori, una grottesca discussione sul King John di Shakespeare, un consiglio di patrioti che termina in una danza, accompagnata dal violino di Quidam (Un tale), una delle tante maschere del potente ministro Robert Walpole, arbitro della politica inglese per un ventennio. 'Euridice fischiata'. Rappresentata di seguito al Registro Storico del 1736, ne costituisce quasi il quarto atto. Fielding vi mette in scena la prova della satira di Spatter in cui è messa in scena la prova e la caduta della tragedia di Pillage, impresario e poeta. Il tracotante e ingenuo Pillage e la sua opera fischiata sono caricature dello stesso Fielding e dell'insuccesso della sua Euridice ma anche, in una insistita e inesorabile equivalenza tra farsa e politica, patente satira della hybris di Walpole e dell'insuccesso del suo Excise Bill.

Fielding Henry; Savino D. (cur.) Title : Indagini in Bow Street
Author: Fielding Henry; Savino D. (cur.)
Publisher: Aragno

Un giovane parruccaio giustiziato sul famigerato patibolo di Tyburn e una giovane domestica esiliata nelle remote colonie americane: quelli di Bosavern Penlez e di Elizabeth Canning sono due dei casi giudiziari più controversi del Settecento inglese, capaci di condizionare elezioni politiche e dibattiti pubblici. La loro eco, impregnata di pruriti voyeuristici e di radicati pregiudizi sociali, sarebbe giunta sino alle orecchie di Voltaire, che si sarebbe ispirato proprio al caso di Elizabeth Canning per indicare alla giustizia francese, sinonimo di vendetta privata, il modello ideale di una giustizia, quella inglese, sinonimo di pubblico ammonimento. A questi casi sono dedicati i due resoconti firmati dal più celebre giudice-scrittore dell'età dei Lumi, Henry Fielding, attivo nel tribunale londinese di Bow Street, direttamente coinvolto nelle indagini. Pubblicati tra 1749 e il 1753, i due opuscoli di Fielding testimoniano di una microstoria oscura e affascinante, che si dipana tra vicoli malfamati e squallide prigioni, tra taverne e bordelli frequentati da vagabondi, reduci squattrinati, guardie corrotte e poveri diavoli.

Fielding Henry Title : Tom Jones
Author: Fielding Henry
Publisher: Mondadori

Allevato da un ricco gentiluomo di campagna, il trovatello Tom Jones si innamora della vicina di casa Sophia Western. Prima di coronare il suo sogno d'amore, però, dovrà affrontare mille vicissitudini. Accolto da uno straordinario successo di pubblico ma poco apprezzato dalla critica per la bassa estrazione sociale dei personaggi, Tom Jones (1749) è ancora oggi una lettura godibile e affascinante non solo per la trama, ariosa e divertente, o per il quadro della società che delinea, ma soprattutto per l'arguzia di Fielding, la sua umanità tollerante e aperta a raccontare il percorso di un'anima dall'innocenza alla consapevolezza, in una vera e propria celebrazione della vita. Introduzione di Martin C. Battestin.

Fielding Henry Title : Tom Jones
Author: Fielding Henry
Publisher: Feltrinelli

Tom Jones è un trovatello accolto e allevato da un ricco e magnanimo gentiluomo di campagna, Mr Allworthy. Onesto e di buon cuore, seppur tendente a una certa passionale promiscuità, Tom è circondato da persone viscide e disoneste a causa delle quali deve prima rinunciare all'amore per Sophia, figlia del vicino di casa, che non vuole concedere la mano della figlia a un trovatello, e poi è costretto a fuggire quando viene messo in cattiva luce agli occhi del suo stesso benefattore. Ha così inizio il viaggio picaresco dell'orfano, in cerca di risposte e di un modo per ripristinare la propria reputazione agli occhi dell'amato Mr Allworthy. Il romanzo ebbe un immediato successo, anche se non pochi furono quelli che si scandalizzarono per un preteso 'immoralismo' dell'eroe e del suo creatore. In pochi romanzi - settecenteschi e non - è dato trovare tanto robusto e ottimistico realismo, tanta forza di humour, tanta felicità di rappresentazione di una società ricca di affascinanti contraddizioni: gentiluomini di campagna violenti e grossolani e dame londinesi schizzinose nei salotti e corrive nell'alcova; ingiustizie sociali e mancanza di scrupoli e un allegro prender la vita come viene, leggi dure e spietate e rilassatezza morale. Tutto si compone in un quadro mosso e colorito, vivace e disinvolto.

Fielding Henry; Fortunato E. (cur.) Title : Il marito femmina
Author: Fielding Henry; Fortunato E. (cur.)
Publisher: Croce Libreria

Pubblicato in forma anonima il 12 novembre del 1746 sul «General Advertisers», tradotto qui per la prima volta in italiano e quasi dimenticato nei paesi di lingua inglese, 'Il marito femmina' non è soltanto un pamphlet molto audace ma anche un importante documento storico-letterario. Mary Hamilton è una bella diciottenne, orfana di padre, cresciuta sull'Isola di Man, assieme alla madre che la educa «secondo i più austeri principi della Virtù e della Religione». Tutto fila liscio, finché un giorno non bussa alla sua porta Anne Johnson, una giovane spregiudicata e priva di scrupoli che le fa conoscere i piaceri dell'amore. In seguito, durante un viaggio a Bristol, Anne si innamora di Mr Rogers, un bellissimo ragazzo, e insieme decidono di sposarsi. Da lì, Anne invia una lettera all'amante, nella quale la esorta ad abbandonare quella «inclinazione Malvagia» a vantaggio di un amore più autentico in cui «ci sono infinite gioie, di gran lunga superiori alle vane tenerezze» che avevano sperimentato loro in passato. Mary va su tutte le furie: disperata, progetta di riconquistare la sua donna e, per farlo, decide di travestirsi da uomo e assumere una nuova identità, ovvero quella di George Hamilton. Tuttavia le cose non vanno come le aveva immaginate. Il magnetico George verrà sedotto indistintamente da uomini e da donne, e, a sua volta, corromperà svariate vergini innocenti. Senza censure, utilizzando un linguaggio esplicito quanto limpido ed efficace, Fielding, prendendo spunto dagli atti di un processo, riscrive la deposizione dell'imputata, Mary Hamilton, e le vicende pruriginos

Fielding Henry; Pepe P. (cur.) Title : The miser-L'avaro
Author: Fielding Henry; Pepe P. (cur.)
Publisher: Aracne

Nella sua breve ma intensa carriera di drammaturgo (1728-1737), Henry Fielding fu autore di ventotto pièces, spaziando dalla commedia alla parodia letteraria, dalla satira politica alla farsa, alla ballad opera. 'The Miser', che qui si presenta nell'originale inglese con traduzione a fronte, è l'adattamento di uno dei capolavori di Molière: 'L'Avare'. Dal genio comico di Molière, Fielding attinge ambientazioni, frasi, perfino interi dialoghi, ma quei materiali egli rielabora in modo autonomo, costruendo una commedia alla fine 'inglese' nella forma e nei contenuti. Attraverso Molière, Fielding punta a recuperare lo spirito della tradizione di matrice jonsoniana e a mettere a nudo, mediante il riso e il contrasto dei 'tipi', miserie e nobiltà dell'animo umano.

Fielding Henry, Domingo Darryl (EDT) Title : The Tragedy of Tragedies
Author: Fielding Henry, Domingo Darryl (EDT)
Publisher: Broadview Pr

Best known today for the novels Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones, Henry Fielding was just as renowned in his own time as a prolific and highly successful dramatist. Among his most popular plays was The Tragedy of Tragedies: Or, The Life and Death of Tom Thumb, one of the most extraordinary parodies in English theater. The print version of the play incorporates, in an elaborate structure of annotations, a remarkable satire of heroic drama and of the pretensions and excesses of 'false scholarship.'This edition includes the text of the play itself and the text of the extraordinary notes (by Fielding's pseudonym 'H. Scriblerus Secundus'), appearing in facing page layout; extensive explanatory notes for the modern reader appear at the bottom of the page. Also included are a substantial introduction and a wide range of background materials that set the work in the context of its time. These contextual materials include contemporary reviews, excerpts from the plays that Fielding's parody most frequently targeted, and selections from works that provided inspiration for The Tragedy of Tragedies—from contemporary versions of the 'Tom Thumb' folktale to satirical writing by authors such as Alexander Pope, John Gay, and George Villiers.

Fielding Henry, Bree Linda (EDT) Title : Amelia
Author: Fielding Henry, Bree Linda (EDT)
Publisher: Broadview Pr

'Henry Fielding called Amelia his `favourite Child.'but the readers who loved Tom Jones, on the lookout for more jokes from this author, found the child unfunny and refused to take her in. Linda Bree's new edition of the novel creates an important opening for fresh appraisal of this innovative and challenging work. It is generously and lucidly annotated, with a discriminating introduction taking balanced account both of the historical context and most recent critical discourse. A superb addition to our resources for the study of the early modern novel as well as of Fielding.'- Thomas Lockwood, University of Washington

'Amelia, Fielding's last and in some ways greatest novel, gives us marriage as epic adventure, fraught with perils and blessed with pleasures, and Linda Bree thankfully gives us a new and authoritative edition. The text is well edited and annotated, Bree's introduction superb, and the maps, glossary, and appendices all very useful.' Adam Potkay, William R. Kenan Professor of Humanities, The College of William & Mary

With its combination of satire and sentiment, its focus on the seedy side of London life, and its unexpected shifts in tone, Amelia has intrigued and disturbed readers since its first publication. Eagerly awaited by Henry Fielding's eighteenth-century readers of Tom Jones, the novel perplexed many of them. Amelia counters the traditional courtship plot of eighteenth-century novels with its convincing portrayal of a marriage between an errant husband and his wife, and is ahead of its time in its depiction of the alienation of modern city life.

Appendices include contemporary criticism and related works by Alexander Pope and Sarah Fielding.

Fielding Henry, Brooks-Davis Douglas (EDT), Keymer Thomas (INT) Title : Joseph Andrews and Shamela
Author: Fielding Henry, Brooks-Davis Douglas (EDT), Keymer Thomas (INT)
Publisher: Oxford University Press

Henry Fielding wrote both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) in response to Samuel Richardson's book Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy travesty. Joseph Andrews begins as a parody, too, but soon outgrows its origins, and its deepest roots lie in Cervantes and Marivaux. In both stories, Fielding demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste.
This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fielding's works. The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from the second edition of Richardson's Pamela and Conyers Middleton's Life of Cicero, which is also closely parodied in Shamela. This Oxford World's Classics edition also features a new introduction by Thomas Keymer which situates Fielding's works in their critical and historical contexts.

Publisher: Oxford University Press

Tom Jones (1749) is rightly regarded as Fielding's greatest work, and one of the first and most influential of English novels. At the center of one of the most ingenious plots in English fiction stands a hero whose actions were, in 1749, as shocking as they are funny today. This carefully modernized edition is based on Fielding's emended fourth edition text and offers the most thorough Notes, Maps, and Bibliography.

Fielding Henry, Keymer Tom, Wakely Alice Title : The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling
Author: Fielding Henry, Keymer Tom, Wakely Alice
Publisher: Penguin Classics

A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighbouring squire - though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. But when his amorous escapades earn the disapproval of his benefactor, Tom is banished to make his own fortune. Sophia, meanwhile, is determined to avoid an arranged marriage to Allworthy's scheming nephew and escapes from her rambunctious father to follow Tom to London. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones (1749) is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
In his introduction to this new Penguin Classics edition, Thomas Keymer discusses narrative techniques and themes, the context of eighteenth-century fiction and satire, and the historical and political background of the Jacobite Rebellion. This volume also includes a chronology, further reading, notes, a glossary and an appendix on Fielding's revisions.

Fielding Henry, Hamilton Ross (INT) Title : Tom Jones
Author: Fielding Henry, Hamilton Ross (INT)
Publisher: Barnes & Noble

Tom Jones, by Henry Fielding, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:
New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

Reacting against the sentimentality and moralism of the earliest English novels, Henry Fielding chose to create a work whose main character contains all the complexities of a real human being: the foundling Tom Jones. Tom has been raised by the Squire Allworthy to love virtue, and he truly wants to do good. But Tom's inability to control his temper and his hearty appetite for food, drink, and the opposite sex get him kicked out of Allworthy's estate – and separated from his one real love, Sophia Western. So he begins a journey from the English countryside to the teeming city of London. Along the way he meets a parade of colorful characters, enjoys a series of bawdy, comic adventures, eventually discovers his true parentage, triumphs over the villainous Blifil, and rejoins the beautiful Sophia.

Soon after its 1749 publication, Tom Jones was condemned for being “lewd,” and even blamed for several earthquakes. But what really riled its critics was its supremely funny satirical attack on eighteenth-century British society and its follies and hypocrisies – which, of course, are very much like our own.

Ross Hamilton is Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Barnard College, where he specializes in eighteenth-century and romantic literature. His book, The Shock of Experience: A Literary History of Accident, is forthcoming.

Haywood Eliza, Fielding Henry, Ingrassia Catherine (EDT) Title : Anti-Pamela and Shamela
Author: Haywood Eliza, Fielding Henry, Ingrassia Catherine (EDT)
Publisher: Broadview Pr

Published together for the first time, Eliza Haywood's Anti-Pamela and Henry Fielding's An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews are the two most important responses to Samuel Richardson's novel Pamela. Anti-Pamela comments on Richardson's representations of work, virtue, and gender, while also questioning the generic expectations of the novel that Pamela establishes, and it provides a vivid portrayal of the material realities of life for a woman in eighteenth-century London. Fielding's Shamela punctures both the figure Richardson established for himself as an author and Pamela's preoccupation with virtueThis Broadview edition also includes a rich selection of historical materials, including writings from the period on sexuality, women's work, Pamela and the print trade, and education and conduct.

Fielding Henry Title : Joseph Andrews
Author: Fielding Henry
Publisher: Garzanti

Un genere narrativo che non è 'mai stato finora tentato nella nostra lingua': così lo stesso Fielding definisce il suo 'Joseph Andrews'. Pensato come feroce satira del coevo romanzo di Samuel Richardson 'Pamela o la virtù ricompensata', il libro travalica il suo originale intento parodistico per diventare l'avvincente resoconto d'un viaggio avventuroso, denso di peripezie, di esperienze travagliate, di episodi movimentati e farseschi. I principi morali, enunciati con apparente noncuranza, la cultura e l'amore per i libri unito a quello per gli uomini, la lotta contro il male e il vizio: sono questi i corollari delle divertenti avventure narrate in uno stile vivace e variato, pervaso da quell'indefinibile, ineffabile quasi, humour che è da sempre prerogativa inglese.

Fielding Henry, Bowers Fredson (EDT) Title : Tom Jones
Author: Fielding Henry, Bowers Fredson (EDT)
Publisher: Modern Library

Tom, a foundling, is discovered one evening by the benevolent Squire Allworthy and his sister Bridget and brought up as a son in their household; when his sexual escapades and general misbehavior lead them to banish him, he sets out in search of both his fortune and his true identity. Amorous, high-spirited, and filled with what Fielding called “the glorious lust of doing good,” but with a tendency toward dissolution, Tom Jones is one of the first characters in English fiction whose human virtues and vices are realistically depicted. This edition is set from the text of the Wesleyan Edition of the Works of Henry Fielding.

Fielding Henry, Hawley Judith (EDT) Title : Joseph Andrews and Shamela
Author: Fielding Henry, Hawley Judith (EDT)
Publisher: Penguin Classics

'Kissing, Joseph, is but a Prologue to a Play. Can I believe a young Fellow of your Age and Complexion will be content with Kissing?'

Joseph Andrews, Henry Fielding's first full-length novel, depicts the many colourful and often hilarious adventures of a comically chaste servant. After being sacked for spurning the lascivious Lady Booby, Joseph takes to the road, accompanied by his beloved Fanny Goodwill, a much-put-upon foundling girl, and Parson Adams, a man often duped and humiliated, but still a model of Christian charity. In the boisterous short tale Shamela, a brilliant parody of Richardson's Pamela, the spirited and sexually honest heroine uses coyness and mock modesty to catch herself a rich husband. Together these works anticipate Fielding's great comic epic Tom Jones, with their amiable good humour and pointed social satire.

Judith Hawley's introduction compares the works of Fielding and Richardson, and discusses sex and class relations, and the literary and political world of the time. This volume also includes a chronology and suggestions for further reading.
