color=#0000ff size=3>Bless you Bob for mentioning this literature. I recently
fell back in love with 18'th century English lit, after paying little attention
since university days, oh, about 123 years ago. Anyway, I bought and read
Fielding's "Joseph Andrews" and I laughed and was infuriated by equal
turns. The blatant and overt distortions of personalities allowed Fielding
to turn people's behavior inside out so that it was right up close and it mostly
stank. A brilliant satirist. I also bought a university level book
that had a bunch of scholarly essays on the works of Swift, another
genius. My interest actually started a bit more than a year ago when
I suddenly had to know everything about Samuel Johnson. So, I got two huge
bio's, recent scholarship and read to my hearts content. That whole era of
literature is so deeply rich and I encourage younger folk to explore
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
