Rövid leírás:
Volume Three of Henry Fielding's Miscellanies is devoted entirely to one of his major works of fiction, The History of the Life of the late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great, an ironic political satire on false greatness. Like others in the Wesleyan Fielding series, the present edition, which follows the original version of 1743 rather than Fielding's later revision, includes an historical introduction, an authoritative text and textual introduction, and full explanatory notes.

Volume Three of Henry Fielding's Miscellanies, first published as a three-volume set in 1743, consists in its entirety of a major work of fiction, The history of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great. Jonathan Wild takes its title from the `thief-taker' and gang-leader of that name who was hanged in 1725, but in Fielding's hands, the history of Wild is transformed into a mock-hostorical work of sustained irony aimed at all who would be `great men'.
The general introduction to this edition sets the novel against its historical and biographical background and argues against the view, common since the mid-nineteenth century, that it is a personal satire directed at the figure of Sir Robert Walpole. In both the general and the textual introductions, the editors also offer a fresh view on questions about the date and history of the work's composition. Full explanatory notes and commentary place Fielding's allusions and details in their contemporary context.
As in previous volumes of the Weslyan Edition, this provides critical, unmodernized text, based on the Greg-Bowers `Rationale of Copy-text'. The version is that of the first edition, with an appendix giving all variants in wording and presentation in the 1754 revision. In his introduction the textual editor lays out the rationale for his choice of version. This volume also includes, for the first time in modern edition, Fielding's list of subscribers to the Miscellanies, along with detailed biographical notes and an analysis of the subscription list by the textual editor.
This is a superbly produced volume, a fitting inheritor of the work of Henry Knight Miller. The scholarship of both editors is exemplary: the erudition of Bertrand Goldgar's notes perfectly complements the precision of Hugh Amory's text. It is almost impossible to fault ... The Wesleyan editors have to be congratulated on such a rigorous example of eighteenth-century scholarship, and we should look forward to the final volume appearing before the end of the decade.
