   Is Amelia a good book?

   • So, too, does the image of the author as a cook or innkeeper. In Amelia the language of consumption reinforces the reality of the narrative, while the submerged epic structure allows Fielding to present a group of characters utterly at the mercy of fate. Amelia is not an unqualified success.

   Why was Amelia criticized so much?

   Is Amelia based on a true story?

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.

   Why did Amelia fail?

   • The relative failure of Amelia, for example, may be Fielding’s lack of faith in his own moral vision. The happy ending, promulgated by the deus ex machina of the good magistrate, is hardly consistent with the dire effects of urban moral decay that have been at work upon the Booths throughout the novel.

   What makes Amelia so awkward?

   • What makes Amelia so often awkward is the fact that Fielding is drawn in radically different directions by two equally strong impulses. On the one hand he wishes to honour and reinterpret the ancient epics (and especially Virgil’s Aeneid ). On the other he wishes to write a work of fiction which speaks of and to the present moment.
