Henry Fielding war ein einflussreicher britischer Autor, dessen frühe Karriere als Dramatiker durch politische Zensur eingeschränkt wurde. Nach dem Verbot seiner satirischen Stücke wandte sich Fielding der Romanliteratur zu und sicherte sich damit seinen bleibenden Platz in der Literatur. Seine Meisterwerke sind bekannt für ihren Witz, ihren scharfen Gesellschaftskommentar und ihre vielschichtigen Charaktere. Fielding erforschte die menschliche Natur und gesellschaftliche Missstände mit einer Mischung aus Humor und Intelligenz und etablierte sich als zentrale Figur der englischen Prosa.
