About
"Joseph Andrews: Hero and shortened title of The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and of his friend, Mr Abraham Adams, written in Imitation of the Manner of Cervantes, a novel by Henry Fielding. Joseph Andrews, a prudent, brawny, pleasant young man, is intended to be the brother of Samuel Richardson's heroine Pamela. His widowed employer, Lady Booby, dismisses him from his position as footman for refusing her advances, and he flees London to rejoin his own true love, Fanny Goodwill. On hearing the news of his disgrace, Fanny rushes to meet him. Both are set upon by thieves but are providentially rescued by Parson Adams, and the three return to their parish, where Joseph and Fanny, after comic-opera reversals and discoveries, are married in triumph. The time of the novel is coincident with Pamela, which it parodies and transcends."- - from Benet's Readers Encyclopedia, Fourth Edition
