Böcker av Martin C. Battestin

"For almost the first time in Mr Battestin's book religion has its full innings in the reinterpretation of eighteenth-century literature. Perhaps his greatest contribution is his recovery of a number of divines and their writings and his employment of them as an intellectual rather than a merely antiquarian resource"" - Paul Fussell,

Best remembered as the author of Joseph Andrews (1742), Tom Jones (1749) and Amelia (1751), Henry Fielding was one of the most important pioneering English novelists of the eighteenth century, and his works continue to occupy a central place in the literary canon.
