Amelia

Amelia is a sentimental novel written by Henry Fielding.

Amelia follows the life of Amelia and Captain William Booth after they are married.

It contains many allusions to classical literature and focuses on the theme of marriage and feminine intelligence, but Fielding's stance on gender issues cannot be determined because of the lack of authorial commentary discussing the matter.

Although the novel received praise from many writers and critics, it received more criticism from Fielding's competition, possibly resulting from the "e;paper war"e; in which the author was involved.
