Compare The Adventures Of David Simple And Volume The Last by Sarah Fielding, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Received literary history would have it that the first great female authors in English didn't appear until the 19th century. In fact, there were many earlier classics of female - and even feminist - writing, such as The Adventures of David Simple, penned by Sarah Fielding in 1744. During its second edition, the book was heavily edited by the author's brother Henry Fielding (Tom Jones, Joseph Andrews), but this edition restores her original manuscript. An appendix include the second-edition amendments, and the volume also includes the sequel, Volume the Last. | The Adventures Of David Simple And Volume The Last by Sarah Fielding, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
