![]() ![]() ![]() I chose to read “Pamela” as I had a copy sitting unread on my shelves but this Penguin edition has the publication date of 1740. Boxall has 1742 for the “Pamela” publication date, the same year as “Joseph Andrews” and has put Fielding before Richardson alphabetically.

Last time for this strand I read Henry Fielding’s “ Joseph Andrews” published in 1742 in which Richardson’s main character is Fielding’s titular character’s sister and who makes an appearance. ![]()
