Synopsis
In 'Shamela', Fielding set about exposing, by brilliant parody, the more vulnerable aspects of Richardson's hugely successful PAMELA. In JOSEPH ANDREWS, which gained immediate popularity, he offered his own alternative conception of the art and purpose of the novel. Joseph Andrews, brother to the famously moralistic Pamela follows her example by steadfastly clinging to his virtue and refusing the clamorous sexual demands of women. An hilarious series of adventures ensues, with Parson Adams as his comical sidekick.
