Univ Pr of Kentucky claimed ´ The Adventures of David Simple (1744), Sarah Fielding´s first and most celebrated novel, went through several editions, the second of which was heavily revised by her brother Henry. This edition includes Henry´s ´´corrections´´ in an appendix. In recounting the guileless hero´s search for a true friend, the novel depicts the derision with which almost everyone treats his sentimental attitudes to human nature. Acclaimed as an accurate portrait of mid-eighteenth-century London, The Adventures of David Simple sets forth some provocative feminist ideas. Also included is Fielding´s much darker sequel, Volume the Last (1753).
