Henry Fielding: Contributions to The Champion, and Related Writings Hardback
by Henry Fielding
Edited by William B. (, Professor of English Emeritus, Wesleyan University) Coley
Part of the The Wesleyan Edition of the Works of Henry Fielding series
Hardback
Description
This volume completes the edition's coverage of Henry Fielding's journalism, which occupied a far greater part of his time than has been traditionally acknowledged.
His contributions to The Champion are not only among his most energetic and intriguing works in the genre; they also have a dense political background, of interest to historians studying the interface between journalism and politicians of the time, as well as the role of newspaper publishers.
Walpole figures hugely, and the extent to which Fielding hints at the minister's life and activities is remarkable.
Much of the volume's material has never been reprinted before.
Explanatory annotations are full, as the characteristically allusive and topical nature of Fielding's writing requires.
Appendices provide an analytical textual apparatus, and the editorial introductions emphasize matters such as genesis and composition, circumstances of publication, in addition to immediate biographical, literary, and historical backgrounds.
