Historical Fictions and the Fictions of History in Henry Fielding's "Tom Jones". This paper analyses Henry Fielding's (1769) Tom Jones, and argues that Fielding's writing presents the reader with a impossible maze of contradictions that work to criticize the history of Fielding's contexts. It is predominantly in the introductory essays to each chapter that Fielding provides hints about his criticisms of rationality, universal order, and the general beliefs that mark the Age of Restoration, including the King of England, Charles II. It is suggested here that Fielding's comic novel exceeds mere fiction by producing an intricately woven criticism of history and knowledge. 11 pgs. bibliography lists 2 sources.
