The Works of Henry Fielding, Vol. 12

The Works of Henry Fielding, Vol. 12 is a collection of theatrical works and miscellaneous writings by 18th-century English author Henry Fielding. Notable pieces include ''The Author's Farce,'' which humorously critiques the theatrical profession, and ''The Tragedy of Tragedies; or, The Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great,'' a parody of tragic conventions. Through characters like Luckless, a struggling playwright, Fielding explores the absurdities of the theatrical world and the challenges faced by artists in a comedic manner.
