  Powells.com Interviews - Helen Fielding
And, hey, Fielding's narrator works for a publishing company so there's lots of talk about books in Bridget Jones's Diary, and she borrowed the plot from Jane Austen (no word yet on when she'll be giving it back), so there's your highbrow literary connection right there.
Fielding: fuckwittage [she pronounces it to rhyme with fromage], it's from the French.
Fielding: Well, sometimes I write travelogues for Conde Nast, and I wrote a piece for the Telegraph about the tour, which was me instead of Bridget.

  Sarah Fielding - The Governess
Sarah Fielding was three years younger than Henry, the fourth of seven children of Edmund Fielding, a soldier, and Sarah Gould, the daughter of a wealthy magistrate.
In 1744, when she was 34, Sarah Fielding became the housekeeper for her brother Henry upon the death of his first wife; she moved in with her sisters when he remarried three years later.
Sarah Fielding’s earliest published work appears as part of her brother Henry’s writing – she contributed a fictional letter to his novel Joseph Andrews (1742) and a fictional autobiography of Anne Boleyn in his book, A Journey from This World to the Next (1743).

 Henry Fielding
Henry Fielding, the eldest of seven children, was born on April 22, 1707, at Sharpham Park, in Somerset, England.
Sarah had followed in her fathers literary footsteps and did some writing but none of it was very memorable; however her book for educating girls, 'The Governess, or Little Female Academy', was used well into the next century.
It was about a year before Fielding went back to newspaper writing, where he continued to work on various politically oriented newspapers and publish many political and satirical pamphlets, some of which the government actually approved of, and even distributed.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Sarah Fielding
Sarah Fielding was born on 8 November 1710 at East Stour, a village in Dorset in the South of England.
The siblings were and remained close: in adulthood Sarah lived for some time with her three sisters, and her elder brother Henry, the playwright, novelist and magistrate, was a mentor and friend to her until his death in 1754.
We know very little about Sarah's life between the late 1730s and 1744, but it is likely from internal evidence of her fictions that she spent some time in London, probably with Henry, visiting the sights and particularly enjoying regular visits to the theatre.

Bree's goal is to show Sarah Fielding's life and work "not as a sister or friend of the literary great but in her own right as a prominent writer and scholar"(Bree vii).
Bree uses Sarah Fielding's Advertisement from David Simple as the basis of her argument in which she claims that Fielding "was making it clear at the outset of her book [that it] was not merely a story, or a series of stories, that set out to entertain but that it would also contain instructive advice"(30).
Bree's book, being the first full-length study on Sarah Fielding, is a successful study at portraying her as a "prominent writer and scholar" (vii).

Sarah Fielding (1710-1768), the author of five novels, a children's story, an imaginative historical biography, a critical treatise on Clarissa, and a translation from the Greek of Xenophon, is among the most versatile and interesting eighteenth-century women writers.
The Adventures of David Simple (1744), Fielding's first and most celebrated novel, went through many English editions -- including a second edition heavily revised by her brother Henry -- and was translated into German and French.
It also reproduces Fielding's much darker sequel, Volume the Last (1753), in which a string of disasters befalls David and his family.

 IPL Online Literary Criticism Collection
I will argue that what might, at first glance, appear an eccentric or sloppy application of dashes, actually serves a vital interpretive function in Sarah Fielding's text--indicating the depth of her control over the details of her writing and its visual production.
Specifically, Sarah Fielding's use of printallows her to echo the non-verbal world which the women of her novel increasingly come to inhabit.
Understood in this narrative and historical context, Henry Fielding's 'corrections,' though seemingly minor, reveal the so-called 'accidentals' of David Simple to be of critical importance in a reading of the novel.

Sabor's impulse throughout to contextualize Fielding's career allows the private, literary, and social aspects of her life to be represented in terms revelatory of her as an individual subject and as a woman writer.
The result is a complex and sophisticated narrative that prepares the reader to appreciate Fielding's innovative techniques, most especially those relating to the quality most admired by contemporaries, her revelation of inwardness.
The revival of interest in Sarah Fielding's writings over the last decade should be quickened by the publication of this important edition.

Examines the utopian communities envisaged by Mary Astell, Sarah Fielding, Mary Hamilton, Sarah Scott, and other writers from Britain and continental Europe, exploring the ways in which they resembled - and departed from - traditional utopias.
The most studied utopias have been proposed by men, but during the eighteenth century a group of reform-oriented female novelists put forth a series of work that expressed their views of, and their reservations about, ideal societies.
Johns demonstrates that while traditional visions tended to look back to absolutist models, womens utopias quickly incorporated emerging liberal ideas that allowed far more room for personal initiative and gave agency to groups that were not culturally dominant, such as the female writers themselves.
