초록
Henry Fielding (1707-54) is a most important founding theorist in the history of modern English novel. He called himself as "the founder of a new province of writing". By inventing a new concept of the novel, "comic epic poem in prose" in Joseph Andrews (1742), Fielding succeeded in bringing fresh air into the world of the new modern literary genre in contrast to Daniel Defoe's and Samuel Richardson's theories and practices of mimesis in their novels. Fielding not only looked forward to the new literary production of the novel but also looked backward to the old literary world holding to neoclassicism behind him. Appealing to major classical authorities such as Homer, Aristotle, Virgil, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Swift, he examined carefully his novel's form and structure, action and fable, character and manners, narrator and diction. He dialogically juxtaposed various kinds of classical and modern elements in his novel in order to generate a new form of novel in Joseph Andrews different from Robinson Crusoe and Pamela. Fielding achieved a lively variety and dynamic energy in his novel but inescapably met some ambiguities and inconsistencies. Fielding laid down the principle governing symmetry and moderation in his literary and critical discussion at every level. Good sense (or judgment) is the middle point. One may rise above it to the true wit, or sink below it to gravity because of a lack of lively imagination. Immoderate rise and fall alike lead to faults ultimately to the extremes of madness and stupidity. Good sense and nature throughout Fielding's work are presented as standards. Fielding tries to balance and moderate dialogically several different historical genres and novelistic methods in Joseph Andrews.
Abstract
Henry Fielding (1707-54) is a most important founding theorist in the history of modern English novel. He called himself as "the founder of a new province of writing". By inventing a new concept of the novel, "comic epic poem in prose" in Joseph Andrews (1742), Fielding succeeded in bringing fresh air into the world of the new modern literary genre in contrast to Daniel Defoe's and Samuel Richardson's theories and practices of mimesis in their novels. Fielding not only looked forward to the new literary production of the novel but also looked backward to the old literary world holding to neoclassicism behind him. Appealing to major classical authorities such as Homer, Aristotle, Virgil, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Swift, he examined carefully his novel's form and structure, action and fable, character and manners, narrator and diction. He dialogically juxtaposed various kinds of classical and modern elements in his novel in order to generate a new form of novel in Joseph Andrews different from Robinson Crusoe and Pamela. Fielding achieved a lively variety and dynamic energy in his novel but inescapably met some ambiguities and inconsistencies. Fielding laid down the principle governing symmetry and moderation in his literary and critical discussion at every level. Good sense (or judgment) is the middle point. One may rise above it to the true wit, or sink below it to gravity because of a lack of lively imagination. Immoderate rise and fall alike lead to faults ultimately to the extremes of madness and stupidity. Good sense and nature throughout Fielding's work are presented as standards. Fielding tries to balance and moderate dialogically several different historical genres and novelistic methods in Joseph Andrews.
