History of Tom Jones, a Foundling
Free AI-generated illustrated lesson. Hand-drawn and narrated, step by step.
The Author as the Host of an Ordinary
In the famous opening of Tom Jones, Henry Fielding introduces a brilliant metaphor for the relationship between an author and their readers. He argues that an author is not a host giving a private dinner party, but rather the master of a public ordinary, or tavern, where customers pay and expect to be satisfied.
Let's look at this comparison. At a private dinner, good breeding forces guests to politely praise the food, even if it is terrible. But at a public tavern, paying customers demand what they like and will freely abuse the dinner if it is bad. To prevent disappointment, the honest host provides a bill of fare—a menu—at the very entrance.
Fielding's menu for his entire literary feast consists of just one grand, foundational dish: Human Nature. But do not let the simplicity of that single item fool you. Just like a single green turtle contains many distinct, exquisite cuts of meat, human nature holds a staggering, inexhaustible variety of flavors.
If human nature is so common, why read this book? Fielding answers that everything depends on the cookery of the author. Just as a master chef can turn a common ingredient into a royal delicacy while a bad tavern ruins it, a great writer dresses nature to its best advantage.
