1929 Adventures Of Joseph Andrews Henry Fielding Antique Fiction Book Limited Ed
The Adventures Of Joseph Andrews
By Henry Fielding
Edited With An Introduction & Notes by J. Paul De Castro
Published by The Scholartis Press: London 1929
Limited Edition Only 760 Published
"This handsome 1929 Scholartis Press edition of The Adventures of Joseph Andrews presents Henry Fielding's lively picaresque classic in a finely produced limited issue of only 760 copies. Edited with a thoughtful introduction and scholarly notes by J. Paul De Castro, the volume offers both an engaging reading text and a deeper appreciation of Fielding's humour, narrative craft, and early contribution to the development of the English novel. The story follows the virtuous footman Joseph Andrews and his loyal companion Parson Adams on a series of comic misadventures across eighteenth-century England, blending satire, social commentary, and exuberant characterisation.
As one of the most collectable modern editions of Fielding's work, this limited printing reflects the Scholartis Press commitment to producing literary texts of high quality during the interwar period. The careful editing, restricted print run, and elegant presentation make it a desirable volume for collectors of classic literature and those interested in early scholarly editions of major English novelists. This book will appeal especially to enthusiasts of Henry Fielding, collectors of limited press editions, and admirers of early picaresque fiction."
