This book explores the role of Henry Fielding’s novels in the context of the general project of reformation of manners and focuses on the development of the models of masculinity in his novels, which parallels the shifts in understanding of politeness in the years 1742–1751. It considers several viewpoints related to the changing economy, politics and aesthetic requirements of the time and uses them to analyse how Fielding’s models of masculinity dealt with these complex perspectives.
