Henry Fielding and the Narration of Providence : Divine Design and the Incursions of Evil
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Henry Fielding and the Narration of Providence analyzes the fate in 18th-century England of the Augustinian tradition of the providential design of history. At this time the retrospective form of literary narrative (also know as “the rise of the English novel”) flourished, particularly in the novels of Henry Fielding. Through his “historian” narrators, Fielding presents to the reader a sense of narrative ending that explores, with great power of poetic penetration, the claims humans can and cannot make, even retrospectively, for the realization of the divine design.
