In Joseph Andrews (1742), Fielding's first novel, footboy Joseph loses his place when he rejects Lady Booby's advances, commencing a comic odyssey of robbery, poverty, and sexual viciousness. Also included is Shamela (1741), a shorter work, which extends the parody of Samuel Richardson's immensely successful Pamela (1740) begun in Joseph Andrews.
