Detailed explanation-1: -Henry Fielding, (born April 22, 1707, Sharpham Park, Somerset, Eng.-died Oct. 8, 1754, Lisbon), novelist and playwright, who, with Samuel Richardson, is considered a founder of the English novel. Among his major novels are Joseph Andrews (1742) and Tom Jones (1749).
Detailed explanation-2: -One of his major contribution to the English novel was a sense of structure to its development. With his Tom Jones, Fielding introduced a new kind of fictional hero – a good hearted, well intentioned young man with ordinary human weakness, one who yields to temptation with women and to make errors in judgement.
Detailed explanation-3: -His greatest work is The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749), a meticulous comic novel with elements of the picaresque and the Bildungsroman, telling a convoluted, hilarious tale of how a foundling came into a fortune.
