Henry Fielding's Novels and the Classical Tradition. Newark, Delaware: University of Delaware Press, 1996. This study provides the first full-length examination of Fielding's use of classical literature, placed in the context of classical education and reading in the eighteenth century. It demonstrates that Fielding's use of the classical tradition profoundly affects our interpretation of his audience, his characters, his narrators and the genealogy of his fiction.
