Henry Fielding's Tom Jones and the Romance Tradition
This book argues that Tom Jones is a comic Romance, a comic Epic in prose, unique and incomparable, and that it is thoroughly in the epic-romance tradition. Its affinities are with Ariosto and Cervantes, Amadis de Gaule and Sidney's Arcadia , and this means that it is not answerable to modes of criticism proper enough to another literary realm but quite inadequate for the romance.
