Henry Fielding (April 22, 1707 - October 8, 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich earthy humour and satirical prowess, and as the author of the novel Tom Jones. Aside from his literary achievements, he has a significant place in the history of law-enforcement, having founded what some have called London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners. His greatest work was Tom Jones (1749), a meticulously constructed picaresque novel telling the convoluted and hilarious tale of how a foundling came into a fortune. Charlotte, on whom he later modeled the heroines of both Tom Jones and Amelia, died in 1744. Three years later Fielding - disregarding public opinion - married her former maid, Mary, who was pregnant. Despite this, his consistent anti-Jacobism and support for the Church of England led to him being rewarded a year later with the position of London's Chief Magistrate, and his literary career went from strength to strength. Fielding's lack of psychological realism (i.e. the feelings and emotions of his characters are rarely explored in any depth) can perhaps be put down to his overriding concern to reveal the universal order of things. It can be argued that his novel Tom Jones reflects its author's essentially neoclassical outlook-character is something the individual is blessed with at birth, a part of life's natural order or pattern. Characters within Fielding's novels also correspond largely to types; e.g. Squire Western is a typically boorish and uncultivated Tory squire, obsessed with fox hunting, drinking and acquiring more property.

Wronski, Ulrike: Die Funktionen der Kapitelüberschrift in Henry Fieldings Roman "Tom Jones" GRIN VERLAG; GRIN VERLAG, Oktober 2007, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3638767140
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,0, Universität Hamburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar: Henry Fielding - Tom Jones, 13 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Kommentar des Dozenten: Die Arbeit steht unter einer fokussierten Fragestellung und liefert differenzierte und überzeugende Antworten. Was sie zum expliziten, aber auch impliziten Verweischarakter von Fieldings Kapitelüberschriften aufführt, ist durchgängig plausibel, immer gut belegt und stilistisch-argumentativ sehr ansprechend vorgetragen. , Abstract: Niemand kann jede Neuerscheinung auf dem Buchmarkt lesen. Die Programmvielfalt im Fernsehen ist schier erdrückend und jede Woche kommen ein Dutzend neue Filme ins Kino. In diesem Wirrwarr bietet es einen ungemeinen Vorteil, schnell erkennen zu können, was wichtig ist und was unwichtig, was interessant ist und was langweilig. Deshalb sind wir darauf angewiesen, in Büchern eine kurze Inhaltsangabe zu finden, mithilfe von Videotext oder Fernsehzeitschrift über die Handlung von Spielfilmen informiert zu werden oder durch Überschriften und Dachzeilen die uns interessierenden Zeitungsartikel herausfiltern zu können. Bevor wir eine Wahl treffen, wollen wir wissen, was uns erwartet und das Angebot mit seinen Alternativen vergleichen.Auch wenn die Masse der Informationen, die auf die Menschen im 18. Jahrhundert einstürzte, geringer war als die, mit der Menschen aus dem 21. Jahrhundert zu kämpfen haben, erkannte der englische Schriftsteller Henry Fielding bereits damals, dass seine potenziellen Leser wissen wollen, worum es in seinen Romanen geht, bevor sie mit der Lektüre beginnen. Auch die Leser des 18. Jahrhunderts konnten schon zwischen einer Vielzahl an literarischen Texten wählen. Unter anderem deshalb hat Fielding all seine Romane in Bücher und Kapitel gegliedert und diesen Einheiten Überschriften vorangestellt. In Tom Jones (1749) wird dieFunktion dieser Überschriften erläutert: Sie sollen dem Leser mitteilen, was ihn im folgenden Text erwartet und es ihm so erleichtern, zu entscheiden, ob er den Text lesen will. Mit dieser sehr wichtigen Funktion sind die Aufgaben der Kapitelüberschrift jedoch noch lange nicht erschöpft. Die dieser Arbeit zugrundeliegende Frage lautet deshalb: Welche Funktionen erfüllt die Kapitelüberschrift in Henry Fieldings Roman Tom Jones Um dies zu klären, sollen zuerst die Überlegungen dargelegt werden, die in Tom Jones und Joseph Andrews (1742), ebenfalls von Henry Fielding verfasst, zu diesem Thema angestellt werden. Dann werden die Kapitelüberschriften in Tom Jones analysiert, daraus Rückschlüsse auf ihre Funktionen gezogen und die Ergebnisse mit den Postulaten in den Romanen verglichen. Ich hoffe, auf diese Weise Zusammenhänge zu erkennen, die für die Interpretation des gesamten Romans bedeutend sind.
