Set in 18th-century England, this novel follows the adventures of a footboy named Joseph Andrews after his dismissal from service. Rejecting the advances of his employer's wife, he embarks on a journey marked by crime, poverty, and comedic love. As a response to contemporary literature, it critiques societal corruption while blending satire with sophisticated prose. Originally a parody of Samuel Richardson's "Pamela," this work evolves into a broader commentary on the limitations of its time, showcasing Fielding's wit and insight.
