Book synopsis

The Author's Inheritance is the first extended study to focus on Henry Fielding's influence on the works of Jane Austen. Parker explores how Fielding and Austen rely upon a common comedic vision, employ similar themes and plot structures, and follow a similar trajectory in their careers. Each author reinforces the social and cultural status quo while simultaneously revealing its deficiencies, creating a comforting social vision that ensures their place in the literary canon.
