Description

This scholarly revival of the 1972 classic examines Henry Fielding's literary contributions against the backdrop of Augustan culture and the disruptive forces that shaped the era. The study explores how Fielding's writing relates to broader Augustan civilization, drawing connections to contemporaries including Pope, Swift and Smollett, as well as twentieth-century literary developments. The author investigates critical stylistic crises of the period, particularly the erosion of 'urbanity' and the evolution of mock-heroic conventions that defined this historically significant and artistically rich era. Ideal for scholars, students and readers interested in eighteenth-century English literature, this Routledge Revivals edition makes an important academic text accessible to modern audiences exploring Augustan literary culture and the philosophical tensions that influenced major writers of the period.

Key Features

Originally published in 1972, this Routledge Revivals edition restores a seminal study of Fielding's relationship to Augustan literary and cultural traditions.

Examines Henry Fielding's major works through the lens of 'Nature's Dance of Death' and other thematic concerns central to Augustan period writing.

Connects Fielding's literary innovations to the works of Pope, Swift and Smollett, providing comparative analysis across major Augustan figures.

Explores stylistic crises including the decline of urbanity and transformations in mock-heroic writing techniques during this artistically significant period.

Combines historical context with literary criticism to illuminate how disruption and change shaped Augustan literature and eighteenth-century cultural values.

Offers contemporary relevance by tracing connections between Augustan literature and twentieth-century writing traditions and artistic concerns.
