No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 4/25/22 Here's what I wrote after reading in 1987: "A very difficult novel to finish. Narrative was wordy and filled with moralizing. At the end of the novel, I still didn't comprehend its point. Narrative describes through-the English-countryside-travels of two young lovers and their sponsor minister, over the span of three-to-seven days. There must have been a point to the book, but, I've missed it." Joseph Andrews starts off as a parable of the Good Samaritan with chastity and charity the central themes. Main character Joseph Andrews is a footman for Lady Booby. When her husband dies suddenly, Joseph is forced to ward off her amorous advances. In an effort to get away from Mrs. Booby Joseph travels to see his true love, Fanny. Along the way he is robbed and beaten but no one wants to help him. Sound familiar? It seems as if Fielding is fixated on responding to Samuel Richardson's Pamela. There are other ties to Pamela. Fielding makes Pamela the brother of Joseph. Along Joseph's journey is accompanied by tutor and pastor Mr. Adams. A large chunk of History of the Adventures is Parson Adams's adventures. As an aside, what is up with all the goofy names? Mrs. Slipslop, Mrs. Booby, Tow-Wouse, Peter Pounce, Gaffar and Gammar Andrews, to name a few. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
