Description
"Shamela" is a parody of Samuel Richardson's "Pamela", Fielding's heroine uses coyness and mock modesty as techniques to catch a rich husband. "Joseph Andrews" can also be seen as a response to Richardson as the lascivious Lady Booby sets out to seduce her comically chaste servant Joseph.
