| | Fielding, Henry 1707, 1754 |
 | | His childhood was spent at East Stour, Dorset, and his education was received at first from a tutor, after which he was sent to Eton. |
 | | She is the prototype of his "Amelia" and "Sophia." She brought him £1500, and the young couple retired to East Stour, where he had a small house inherited from his mother. |
 | | The little fortune was, however, soon dissipated; and in a year he was back in London, where he formed a company of comedians, and managed a small theatre in the Haymarket. |
