CompletedPublished Updated

"Joseph Andrews, Vol. 2" by Henry Fielding is a novel published in 1742. This groundbreaking work follows the virtuous footman Joseph Andrews and his absent-minded mentor, Parson Abraham Adams, on their picaresque journey home from London. Written as a "comic epic poem in prose," the novel blends bawdy humor with philosophical depth as Joseph resists temptation and seeks reunion with his true love, Fanny Goodwill. Through roadside adventures, mistaken identities, and farcical encounters, Fielding crafts a satirical response to the sentimental novels of his era while exploring themes of virtue, hypocrisy, and social pretension.
