Influences’ introduction

Many literary critics have noticed similarities between various works of Henry Fielding and of Lord Byron. Most critical comments have focused upon parallels between Fielding’s novels Joseph Andrews (comic epic poem in prose): and Tom Jones and Byron’s long poem Don Juan. Typically, Fielding’s influence upon Byron has been seen in the theory and practice of the comic epic , the use of digressions as a narrative technique, the satire of society and politics, and the characterizations

of Tom Jones and Don Juan. As yet, little has been done with Fielding’s influence upon other works of Byron or with the development of Byron’s interest in Fielding. The purpose of this introduction is to define the limits of the study, first, by summarizing what is already known and, then, by suggesting several areas in which additional investigation might be fruitful.
