▼ To be placed above the Reach of Deceit is to be placed above the Rank of a human Being - Henry Fielding, A Clear State of the Case of Elizabeth Canning, 1753. Throughout his literary and legal careers, Fielding was concerned with the difficulties of reading and judging character accurately. He saw society as being rife with deceptive and duplicitous individuals and articulated his concerns in his writing, offering various advices to his readers. This thesis examines Fielding’s changing approaches to characterization and his proposed methods for judging character. There is a strong tradition within Fielding criticism, particularly prevalent in the mid-twentieth century, of seeing Fielding’s characters as ‘essential’, that is to say, innate and unchanging: the product of his theory of ‘Conservation of Character’. As such, his characters are often deemed easy-to-read and lacking fully-determined internal lives. Since the mid-1990s, however, critics have begun to argue that his characters are more dynamic than first supposed. While critics have noted the role of judgement in Fielding’s novels, it has not yet been explored in depth in his plays. With some notable exceptions, few studies have explored the interrelation between his novels and plays in a sustained way. I argue that Fielding examines questions of discerning character in both his plays and his novels, and that the early plays are essential for understanding the concepts which are central to his theory of judgement. This thesis contributes to studies of Fielding in three ways: by intervening in long-standing discussions of Fielding’s characterization; by analysing themes of good nature, perception and gossip which develop from his early dramatic work into the better-known novels; and by exploring its relationship to wider ideas about character in the eighteenth-century theatre and novel. Beginning with his plays, I consider Fielding’s presentation of the judgement of character in a range of his works from 1728-1753. I suggest that the early plays gave Fielding the space in which to experiment with the presentation of character and his relationship to his audience. His novels build upon concepts first introduced in the plays, such as good nature, perception and gossip, which he suggests are key to perceiving character. Fielding encourages his audiences and readers to engage with character as a process of discovery (as it is in life), but does not punish or mock them when they make mistakes. In doing so, he gives his audiences and readers indulgences he could ill afford in his magisterial career: time for judgement and the luxury of occasionally being proved wrong.

▼ It was noted that the characters in Fielding's novels cast in authority roles, mainly clergy, magistrates, squires and parents, are used for some of the same purposes as is the persona or narrative voice, but are distinct from it. There is a fairly clear dichotomy between evil or false character authority figures and good or true character authority figures, the latter of which are used as spokesmen for and examples of Fielding's religious and ethical beliefs. It was also noted that there is a trend away from the prominent "good man" as a major authority figure in "Joseph Andrews" which culminates in an austere major authority figure who is frequently absent from the action in "Amelia", and that there is a growing number and prominence of evil or false authority figures. This thesis undertook to examine the nature and extent of the influence of the character authority figures on the world view and tone of each novel. First, the thesis established the ethical and religious values which Fielding uses his authority figures to support. That Fielding was widely read in both religious doctrine and classical ethics is evident from his fictional and critical writings and from the contents of his library at his death. Fielding's character authority figures especially reflect his beliefs and his gradual movement away from an optimistic world view. The authority figures in the three major novels were then examined in terms of Fielding's values. The comic features of Parson Adams, the major authority figure in "Joseph Andrews", were reconciled with his position as an ethical and doctrinal touchstone, and a latitudinarian interpretation of New Testament theology was found to be a major basis for Adams' authority. The effect the minor authority figures have on authority was also established, again in terms of latitudinarian Christian doctrine. "Tom Jones" was examined in terms of its occasional focus on authority and on the major authority figure, Squire Allworthy, as a Providential agent. Allworthy, as a good man, a patriarch, a magistrate and a guardian, was also shown to be the examplar for social, religious, judicial and parental authority in the novel. He is, however, more detached from the action and less loveable than Adams was, and this distancing of the major authority figure from the other characters and from the reader helps to make "Tom Jones" less comic and less optimistic than is "Joseph Andrews". "Amelia" is filled with evil and false authority figures, and it was shown that the major good authority figure, although intended as a good man and a Providential agent, is not successfully presented as such and is also too detached from the action to provide a consistent sense of a controlling authority figure by whose mediation the sympathetic characters will be protected or ultimately rescued. The thesis showed that the character authority figures in "Joseph Andres", "Tom Jones" and "Amelia" are instrumental in establishing the world view. The success or lack thereof of the presentation of the major authority figure…

▼ In 1651, Thomas Hobbes published his Leviathan. In it he analyses the passions and behaviour of men in an emerging market or competitive society. By posing his hypothetical "state of nature," he draws the conclusion that man is essentially a self-motivated creature. Lord Ashley Cooper, the third Earl of Shaftesbury, reacted to the picture of man drawn by Hobbes. In Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, and Times, first published in 1709, Shaftesbury analyses the affections or passions and concludes that man is essentially benevolent. Unlike the Hobbesian picture, the Shaftesburian analysis shows man as outward-oriented, seeking the good and company of others. These theories or the doctrines of the heart (as I call them for the purpose of this thesis) were current in the eighteenth century and at a time when Fielding and Sterne wrote Tom Jones and The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman respectively. The doctrines are reflected substantially in both novels. In Tom Jones, for example, Tom becomes the epitome of the doctrine of benevolence in his persistent performance of good works; Blifil, in his selfish attempts to supplant Tom, displays Hobbesian egocentricity. Uncle Toby and Mr. Walter Shandy each reflect aspects of both doctrines in Tristram Shandy. It is my intention to show in this thesis that the doctrines of egocentricity and benevolence inform both Tom Jones and Tristram Shandy, and that Fielding and Sterne react critically to the teaching of Hobbes and Shaftesbury in the process of their artistic creation. I shall approach the discussion chiefly by way of character analysis thus showing how the behaviour of the main figures in the novels suggests the thoughts of the philosophers. But the novelists' vision becomes clearer to the reader when it is seen in direct relation to the style of their works. In addition to the character analysis , therefore, I shall emphasize the narrative technique of each author, such as, the "comic- epic prose" of Fielding, the digressions as well as the "Shandean rhetoric" of Sterne, and attempt to illustrate how the style strengthens the awareness of the artistic vision.

▼ This dissertation explores the ways in which attacks on speculative practices articulated in the financial literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were revised and reformulated in the literary productions of eighteenth-century English fiction writers. The title of this dissertation derives from William Hazlitt?s remark that the ?past is?like money that is spent,? while the future ?is like a store yet untouched, and in the enjoyment of which we promise ourselves infinite gratification? (?On the Past and Future?). Hazlitt?s figuration of time as money refers us to an important historical connection between England?s revolutionized financial order and alterations in the individual?s relationship to futurity. The financial revolution, as P.G.M. Dickson famously styled it, brought the British a new sense of the individual?s control over his or her material destiny in the temporal order of things; and the challenge it posed to a Providentialist view of history was addressed and negotiated by countless literary texts of the period in explicit or implicit fashion. Rather than sidestepping the vexing theoretical problem of how a revolution could be said to exist independently of the discourse that names it so, this dissertation argues that the historically significant fictional discourses of the eighteenth century acted to mark the historical moment as one particularly interested in the status of the forward-looking (often explicitly financial) subject. Ascertaining how texts of this period established ethical distinctions between prudential foresight and ?scheming? offers a new way of understanding the development of eighteenth-century fiction as well as the broader cultural narratives from which those fictions drew energy and, indeed, a readership. The carving of ethical space for the speculative subject, one who was forward-looking without being either presumptuous or manipulative, is shown to be a central moral concern and literary opportunity for writers such as Daniel Defoe, Richard Steele, Alexander Pope, Eliza Haywood, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, and Samuel Johnson.

▼ Toleration has long been hailed by critics of the Enlightenment as emblematic of the liberalizing progress of Whig history. As a legal and religious doctrine, however, toleration confronted eighteenth century writers with a difficult social irony. A tolerant society ought to be at ease with the richness of its own plurality. Yet toleration, as defined in the 1689 Act of Toleration, functioned primarily to exclude any religious group seen as a threat to social stability, thereby maintaining religious belief as a legal standard for exclusion throughout the eighteenth century. Focusing on novels published in the aftermath of the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite rebellions, my dissertation argues that the novelistic preoccupation with character and community gave voice to both the continuing struggle for religious equality and the fear of some writers, such as Henry Fielding and Robert Paltock, that religious difference would ultimately lead to the downfall of the nation. Moreover, I maintain that reading persecution through the lens of toleration offers new insights into the development of Enlightenment thought and literature. After the inscription of toleration into English law, persecution changed from outright acts of torture and murder, like those detailed in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (1563), to less grotesque, if equally insidious, acts of legal and social oppression. In response to this social change, the nature of the dissenting character gained ever increasing complexity. Through her mere existence as a political and religious outsider, for instance, Jane Barker’s Galesia disrupts Whig social norms. No longer defined exclusively by religious enthusiasm, these characters’ willingness to take ethical stands against the accepted views of their fellow citizens, friends, and even families, preserved Britain’s bloody history of civil war and rebellion, setting the groundwork for cosmopolitanism. For authors like Samuel Richardson sympathy comes to embody a radically inclusive alternative to toleration that avoids the trappings of identity politics, opening the door for recognition of the shared humanity of all peoples. Advisors/Committee Members: Christopher Fox, Committee Member, Margaret Anne Doody, Committee Chair, John Sitter, Committee Member.

▼ In his 1749 novel, Tom Jones, Henry Fielding quips that “Every book ought to be read with the same spirit and in the same manner as it is writ” (Fielding 83). It is the contention of this dissertation that though we have read the developing novel in contrast to epic, romance, and news, we have not yet read it in the theatrical spirit and dramatic manner in which it was “writ.” Yet the novelist’s training in the theatre, the novel’s slow usurpation of drama, and the novels’ own assumptions that they are drama, suggest that the comic eighteenth-century century stage is a neglected but rich precursor to the modern novel. This dissertation begins with the assumption that elements of the novel are inherited from drama, identifies four novels that call themselves drama, and then explores one theatrical element in each novel to understand how the novel functions as drama. Tom Jones considers, as Fielding says, “what few have yet considered… the audience at this great drama” (Fielding 211). The novel, aware of a plural, listening audience, casts itself in theatrical terms in response to that audience. Tristram Shandy’s mediating narrator stands on the apron of the novel, and in the space between the audience’s needs and the story’s truth, stages the plot. Mansfield Park captures the resulting staged plot, exploring the interaction between staged worlds and the “real” worlds they inhabit. Finally, The Ring and The Book, a verse novel by Robert Browning, traces the dramatized novel’s move to interiority; we must still “Let this old woe step on stage again” (Browning I.825), but in our mind’s ear and mind’s eye, imaginatively recreating the story-world backstage of the plot. Thus, as the study moves from Fielding’s raucous eighteenth-century audience to Sterne’s conversational apron, to the Austen’s intentional stages, to Browning’s imaginative story-world backstage of the plot, it develops a model of novel-reading based on the theatrical roots of the novel.
