More Information
Henry Fielding was born on 22nd April 1707 in Somerset England
and is generally regarded as the 'father of English literature' producing what
must be one of its greatest novels Tom Jones. Educated at Eton he went on to
have a colourful and 'adventurous private life which, interesting as it is,
falls way beyond the scope of this page. His early literary efforts were often
forced as a means of financial survival as a lack of success in law and his
personal extravagances meant he was frequently in debt. After leaving England on
health grounds Fielding died in Portugal in 1754 aged only 47. We would
recommend reading one of the many biographies of the authors truly remarkable
life for more information.
