"Joseph Andrews, Vol. 1" by Henry Fielding is a novel published in 1742. When virtuous footman Joseph Andrews rejects his employer Lady Booby's advances, he loses his position and sets out from London to reunite with his true love, Fanny Goodwill. Along the road, he encounters his mentor, the absent-minded Parson Abraham Adams, and together they navigate a series of comic misadventures. Fielding crafted this work as a "comic epic poem in prose," blending bawdy humor with philosophical insight while satirizing the popular literature of his day.
