Description Henry Fielding (1707-1754), as well as being a great novelist, was undoubtedly the liveliest dramatist of his time, using his theatre for satire and burlesque of politics, manners and drama under the Whig of oligarchy. We choose for revival his best play, a literary burlesque produced at the age of 23 and enlarged to its present form in the following year, when it was published with voluminous, mock-learned annotations.
