  Amazon.com: Joseph Andrews and Shamela (Oxford World's Classics): Books: Henry Fielding,Thomas Keymer
But in Shamela Fielding also demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste.
The same themes - together with a presentation of love as charity, as friendship, and in its sexual taste - are present in Joseph Andrews, Fielding's first novel.
The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middleton's Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardson's Pamela (both closely parodied in Shamela).

Shamela works, in Martin Battestin's phrase, "a brilliant ironic twist" on the text from Ecclesiastes, allowing Parson Williams - whose Methodist, relevant theology is a version of writing-to-the-moment - to expatiate upon it to Shamela.
Shamela may thus sit down and talk of her "Vartue" till dinnertime while Cibber may act as if virtue is only a bubble's shadow of a word.
Shamela's parentage, her mother's illiteracy, and the persistent vocabulary of trade, especially in regarding Shamela's "person" as a vendible commodity, all glance at conventional identifications of social class with forms of religious inclination, and the continual spelling of "Vartue" keeps the class theme, as well as the coin of the realm, in constant view.

 Shamela, Henry Fielding Criticism and Essays
Shamela also marked a turning point in the modern novel, as it prepared the way for Fielding's more complex and ambitious work, Joseph Andrews (1742), which launched the tradition of comic fiction in English literature.
The letters reveal that Shamela, formerly a servant in Booby's household, becomes his wife by supposedly resisting his attempts to seduce her and flaunting her “Vartue.” She has done this with the help of Mrs.
Shamela was hardly a critical success upon initial publication, however, and it was not only until the early twentieth century that scholars began taking it seriously as a work of literature.

 An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shamela Andrews, or Shamela, as it is more commonly known, is a satirical novel written by Henry Fielding and first published in April, 1741 under the name of Mr.
Shamela is written as a shocking revelation of the true events which took place in the life of Pamela Andrews, the main heroine of Pamela.
From Shamela we learn that, instead of being a kind, humble, and chaste servant-girl, Pamela (whose true name turns out to be Shamela) is in fact a wicked and lascivious creature, scheming to entrap her master, Squire Booby, into marriage.

She found herself challenging not only the Government of Bahrain and its diplomatic envoy but the United States government who intervened in the lawsuit on the side of the diplomat and urged the federal court to dismiss Shamela's lawsuit on grounds that the diplomat could not be sued for any action in domestic courts.
Also, because the diplomat may hold a politically powerful position in her home country, it is impractical to conceive that she could launch such a legal battle against the diplomat.
And in Shamela case, where her diplomat employers hailed from another country, it was impossible for her to fight any legal challenge in the diplomat's home country.

 Authoring Entertainment
The bawdiness of Shamela’s fictional story motivates Parson Oliver’s indignation with the “many lascivious Images in Pamela, very improper to be laid before the youth of either sex.” (305)  In Shamela, Fielding sets out to counter Pamela’s power to absorb the reader into an illusionistic alternative world.
Because Shamela is only fifty pages long, and features relatively “flat” characters who use sex, disguise and intrigue in order to shape the action, Shamela offers a parody of the novels of amorous intrigue.
But although Shamela pleases readers in some of the same ways that Haywood’s novels do, and thereby exploits their popularity, it is also rigorously anti-absorptive and anti-pornographic.

 Morality in Henry Fielding's novels
Fielding wrote Shamela in opposition to Richardson's recently-published Pamela, in which the heroine is held up to be admired as a perfect model of virtue.
Throughout the novel the key words used by Shamela in her letters are 'feign', 'act' and 'pretend'.
Shamela continually tempts her master but pretends to be doing so unwittingly, thus retaining her virtuous image.

 'Pamela' in the Marketplace - Cambridge University Press
Shamela was the most brilliant and influential of these re-readings, and its parodic disruption of the original text, later amplified in Joseph Andrews, gave early shape to a struggle of interpretation that has been remembered ever since as a duel between two canonical titans.
In light of these intricate entanglements, the purpose of the present study is to retrieve and analyse the output of Pamela's quarrelsome progeny in all its plenitude and range.
Rather than swell the existing body of criticism on Pamela, Shamela and Joseph Andrews, we undertake a compensatory project in which the presence of Richardson and Fielding, though always felt, is secondary to the recovery of their neglected allies and rivals: dramatists and novelists, journalists and artists, professionals and patricians, pirates and hacks.

Also included is Shamela (1741), a shorter work, which extends the parody of Samuel Richardson's immensely successful Pamela (1740) begun in Joseph Andrews.
Fielding has none of the puritanical prejudices of his contemporary and rival Samuel Richardson.Rather he gives a graphic, humourous and insightful glimpse of eighteenth century rural shannanigans.
Both stories are to some extent a response to Richardson's goodie goodie novel Pamela or Virtue Rewarded, Shamela in fact so much so- mimicking then epistulatory narrative and burlesquing the characters and style of the original novel- that you'll miss most of the jokes unless you've read Richardson first.

 Henry Fielding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fielding's first major success in a novel was Shamela, an anonymous parody of Samuel Richardson's melodramatic novel, Pamela.
It is a satire that follows the model of the famous Tory satirists of the previous generation (Jonathan Swift and John Gay, in particular).
It is a satire of Walpole that draws a parallel between Walpole and Jonathan Wild, the infamous gang leader and highwayman.

 PAMELA & ANTI-PAMELA - The New York Review of Books
To say that "Richardson made the English novel the vehicle for sexual reform" is to mistake intention for performance.
As Fielding immediately perceived and expressed in his parody Shamela, the sexual reform in Pamela was really a form of sexual pragmatism in which enticement and sensual attraction became a means of personal advancement.
Moers has no qualms in calling Jane Austen, the Brontës, and George Eliot "Richardsonians all." Yet she does not mention the "anti-Pamelas" that the novel spawned, of which Shamela and Fanny Hill are still remembered.

 Samuel Richardson's Pamela Not So Virtuous - Associated Content
In the novel Pamela, by Samuel Richardson, the main character Pamela is portrayed as a servant-girl who will do anything to maintain her “virtue” and would rather die than give it up to anyone and shame her poor parents.
Even though Pamela is successful in making all of the characters in the novel believe that she wants to maintain her virtue, she was not successful in convincing me. I feel that she “played up” this façade in order to gain a higher social station and monetary wealth by marrying Mr.
That is precisely what Shamela is based on: the fact that that marriage could NEVER actually happen in that time period.
