Henry Fielding, an influential English novelist and dramatist, is celebrated for his satirical and humorous works, particularly the comic novel Tom Jones. He is recognized as a pioneer of the English novel alongside Samuel Richardson. Additionally, he played a significant role in law enforcement by establishing the Bow Street Runners, London's first professional police force. His theatrical writings, notably leading to the Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737, reflect his impact on both literature and society during his time.
