By Henry Fielding
-pgs: 373
Fielding’s parody on Richardson’s story Pamela. In the first story Joseph Andrews, Pamela’s brother is placed in same predicament where his morals, values and fidelity are trying to be broken by a female employer. The story takes a humorous turn when Pamela and her husband show up to check on the boy. Shamela is a direct parody on the story line where the main character is very promiscuous and only guards her virtue from her employer in order to get him to marry her. Interesting stories considering the context.
