Henry Fielding (1933) examines Fielding’s prodigious activity as dramatist, journalist, novelist and magistrate. Though Fielding lived mainly by his pen, the profession he had chosen for himself was that of the law, and this book takes the man as a whole in looking at his writings and his success at law.
