註釋

"Fielding brought to his novel-writing diverse skills and purposes. A conscious experimenter, he borrowed techniques from drama, journalism and the picaresque tale to project a variety of moral and social views that had always been important to him. This book tests the extent to which he was able to reconcile his conflicting motives. It shows how he was forced into certain miscalculations and inconsistencies, and how these have led modern readers to misconstrue his work in important ways. This disparity between intention and achievement is made to reveal something significant about the way in which not only Fielding's novels, but novels in general, make their effect."- Michael Irwin.
