Known for his earthy humor and sharp satire, Henry Fielding was a pivotal figure in the development of the English novel, alongside Samuel Richardson. His acclaimed comic novel, Tom Jones, remains a classic. Beyond literature, he made significant contributions to law enforcement by establishing the Bow Street Runners, London's first full-time police force. The Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737 was influenced by his theatrical writings, particularly following the controversy surrounding his unproduced play, The Golden Rump.
