London, Hamish Hamilton, 1947. 10 cm x 17 cm. XXII, 373 pages. Original Hardcover with illustrated dustjacket. Good condition but with minor signs of external wear. There is noticeable wear to the front of the dustjacket and rubbing of the spine which is sligthly torn at its top and bottom. From the reference library of Hans Christian Andersen – Translator Erik Haugaard.

Joseph Andrews, first published in 1742, is in part a parody of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela. But whereas Richardson’s novel is marked by the virtues of female chastity and the triumph of steadfast morality, Fielding’s Joseph Andrews is peopled with lascivious women, thieves, hypocrites, and general fools. As we follow the characters in their travels, what unfolds is a lively panoramic satire of mid-Georgian England. (Amazon)
