Day of Fielding

Today Henry Fielding would have been 299 years. Born on this day in 1707 he became one of the major satirists during the first half of the 18th century. His works include such as Joseph Andrews, Shamela and his most famous novel Tom Jones.



“LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food; sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites.”
