<text> <front> <tPage> <dTitle type=main>The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and his Friend Mr. Abraham Adams</dTitle> <byLine>by <dAuthor>Henry Fielding</dAuthor> </byLine> <dImprint>Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1967</dImprint> </tPage> <div type='preface'> <p>AS it is possible the mere English Reader may have a different Idea of Romance with the Author of these little Volumes; and may consequently expect a kind of Entertainment, not to be found, nor which was even intended, in the following Pages; it may not be improper to premise a few Words concerning this kind of Writing which I do not remember to have seen hitherto attempted in our Language. <p>The EPIC as well as the DRAMA is divided into Tragedy and Comedy. Homer, who was the Father of this Species of Poetry, gave us a Pattern of both these, tho' that of the latter kind is entirely lost; which Aristotle tells us, bore the same relation to Comedy which his Iliad bears to Tragedy. . . .
