The Story in Brief

Joseph Andrews, a handsome young footman15 in the household of Sir

Thomas Booby, has attracted the erotic16 interest of his master’s wife, Lady
Booby. He has also been noticed by the parson of the parish, Mr. Abraham
Adams, who wishes to cultivate17 Joseph’s moral and intellectual18 potential.
Before he can start Joseph on a course of Latin instruction, however, the
Boobys depart the country for London, taking Joseph with them.
In London, Joseph falls in with a fast crowd of urban 19 footmen, but
despite his rakish20 peers and the insinuations21 of the libidinous22 Lady
Booby he remains uncorrupted. After a year or so Sir Thomas dies, leaving
his widow free to make attempts on the footman’s virtue. Joseph fails to
respond to her amorous hints, however, because he is too naïve 23 to

understand them; in a letter to his sister Pamela, he indicates24 his belief that
no woman of Lady Booby’s social stature could possibly be attracted to a
mere servant. Soon Joseph endures25 and rebuffs26 another, less subtle
attempt at seduction by Lady Booby’s waiting-gentlewoman, the middle-
aged and hideous Mrs. Slipslop.
Lady Booby sends for Joseph and tries again to beguile him, to no avail.
His virtue infuriates27 her, so she sends him away again, resolved to terminate
his employment. She then suffers agonies of indecision over whether to retain
Joseph or not, but eventually Joseph receives his wages and his walking
papers from the miserly steward, Peter Pounce. The former footman is
actually relieved to have been dismissed, because he now believes his
mistress to be both lascivious and psychologically unhinged.
Joseph sets out for the Boobys’ country parish, where he will reunite with
his childhood sweetheart and now fiancée, the illiterate28 milkmaid Fanny
Goodwill. On his first night out, he runs into Two Ruffians who beat, strip,
and rob him and leave him in a ditch to die. Soon a stage-coach approaches,
full of hypocritical and self-interested passengers who only admit Joseph into
the coach when a lawyer among them argues that they may be liable29 for
Joseph’s death if they make no effort to help him and he dies. The coach
takes Joseph and the other passengers to an inn, where the chamber-maid,
Betty, cares for him and a Surgeon pronounces his injuries likely mortal.

 Joseph defies the Surgeon’s prognosis the next day, receiving a visit from
Mr. Barnabas the clergyman and some wretched hospitality from Mrs. Tow-
wouse, the wife of the innkeeper. Soon another clergyman arrives at the inn
and turns out to be Mr. Adams, who is on his way to London to attempt to
publish several volumes of his sermons30. Joseph is thrilled to see him, and
Adams treats his penniless protégé to several meals. Adams is not flush with
cash himself, however, and he soon finds himself trying unsuccessfully to get
a loan from Mr. Tow-wouse with a volume of his sermons as security. Soon
Mr. Barnabas, hearing that Adams is a clergyman, introduces him to a
Bookseller who might agree to represent him in the London publishing trade.
The Bookseller is not interested in marketing sermons, however, and soon the
fruitless discussion is interrupted by an uproar elsewhere in the inn, as Betty
the chambermaid, having been rejected by Joseph, has just been discovered
in bed with Mr. Tow-wouse.
Mr. Adams ends up getting a loan31 from a servant from a passing coach,
and he and Joseph are about to part ways when he discovers that he has left
his sermons at home and thus has no reason to go to London. Adams and
Joseph decide to take turns riding Adams’s horse on their journey home, and
after a rocky start they are well on their way, with Adams riding in a stage-
coach and Joseph riding the horse. In the coach Mr. Adams listens avidly to a
gossipy tale about a jilted woman named Leonora; at the next inn he and
Joseph get into a brawl with an insulting innkeeper and his wife. When they
depart the inn, with Joseph in the coach and Adams theoretically on

30
‫عظات أو خطب‬
31
‫قرض‬
horseback, the absent-minded Adams unfortunately forgets about the horse
and ends up going on foot.
On his solitary32 walk, Adams encounters a Sportsman [this is the man of
bravery] who is out shooting partridge and who boasts of the great value he
places on bravery. When the sound of a woman’s cries reaches them,
however, the Sportsman flees with his gun, leaving Adams to rescue the
woman from her assailant33. The athletic Adams administers a drubbing so
thorough that he fears he has killed the attacker. When a group of young men
comes by, however, the assailant suddenly recovers and accuses Adams and
the woman of robbing and beating him. The young men lay hold of Adams
and the woman and drag them to the Justice of the Peace, hoping to get a
reward for turning them in. On the way Mr. Adams and the woman discover
that they know each other: she is Joseph’s beloved, Fanny Goodwill, who set
out to find Joseph when she heard of his unfortunate encounter with the
Ruffians.
The Justice [the judge] of the Peace is negligent and is about to commit
Adams and Fanny to prison without giving their case much thought when
suddenly a bystander recognizes Adams and vouches for him as a clergyman
and a gentleman. The Justice readily reverses himself and dismisses the
charges against Adams and Fanny, though the assailant has already slipped
away and will not be held accountable. Soon Adams and Fanny depart for the
next inn, where they expect to meet Joseph.

32

 Joseph and Fanny have a joyous reunion at the inn, and Joseph wishes to
get married then and there; both Mr. Adams and Fanny, however, prefer a
more patient approach. In the morning the companions discover that they
have another inn bill that they cannot pay, so Adams goes off in search of the
wealthy parson of the parish. Parson Trulliber, who spends most of his time
tending his hogs34 rather than tending souls, reacts badly to Adams’s request
for charity. Adams returns to the inn with nothing to show for his efforts, but
fortunately a generous Pedlar hears of the travelers’ predicament35 and loans
Adams the money he needs.
After a couple more miles on the road, the travelers encounter a gregarious
Squire who offers them generous hospitality and the use of his coach but then
retracts these offers at the last minute. Adams discusses this strange behavior
with the innkeeper, who tells him about the Squire’s long history of making
false promises.
Walking on after nightfall, the companions encounter a group of spectral
lights that Mr. Adams takes to be ghosts but that turn out later to be the
lanterns of sheep-stealers. The companions flee the scene and find
accommodations at the home of a family named Wilson. After the women
have retired for the evening, Mr. Adams and Joseph sit up to hear Mr. Wilson
tell his life story, which is approximately the story of a “rake’s progress”
redeemed by the love of a good woman. Wilson also mentions that since
moving from London to the country, he and his wife have lost their eldest son
to a gypsy abduction.

34
‫خنازير‬
35
‫فئة‬
 The travelers, who are quite won over by the Wilson family and their
simple country life, depart in the morning. As they walk along, Mr. Adams
and Joseph discuss Wilson’s biography and debate the origins of human
virtue and vice. Eventually they stop to take a meal, and while they are
resting, a pack of hunting dogs comes upon them, annihilates 36 a defenseless
hare, and then attacks the sleeping Mr. Adams. Joseph and his cudgel come
to the parson’s defense, laying waste to the pack of hounds. The owner of the
hounds, a sadistic Squire whom Fielding labels a “Hunter of Men,” is at first
inclined to be angry about the damage to his dogs, but as soon as he sees the
lovely Fanny he changes his plans and invites the companions to his house
for dinner.
The Hunter of Men and his retinue of grotesques taunt37 Mr. Adams
throughout dinner, prompting the parson to fetch Joseph and Fanny from the
kitchen and leave the house. The Hunter sends his servants after them with
orders to abduct Fanny, whom he has been planning all along to debauch.
The servants find the companions at an inn the next morning, and after
another epic battle they succeed in tying Adams and Joseph to a bedpost and
making off with Fanny. Luckily for Fanny, however, a group of Lady
Booby’s servants come along, recognize the milkmaid, and rescue her from
her captors. They then proceed to the inn where Adams and Joseph are tied
up, and Joseph gets to take out his frustrations on Fanny’s primary captor
before they all set off again. Mr. Adams rides in a coach with the obnoxious
Peter Pounce, who so insults the parson that he eventually gets out of the

36
‫يبيد أو يبطل‬
37
‫يوبخ بطريقة ساخرة‬
coach and walks beside Joseph and Fanny’s horse for the last mile of the
journey.
The companions finally arrive home in Lady Booby’s parish, and Lady
Booby herself arrives shortly thereafter. At church on Sunday she hears Mr.
Adams announce the wedding banns of Joseph and Fanny, and later in the
day she summons the parson for a browbeating. She claims to oppose the
marriage of the young lovers on the grounds that they will raise a family of
beggars in the parish. When Adams refuses to cooperate with Lady Booby’s
efforts to keep the lovers apart, Lady Booby summons a lawyer named Scout,
who trumps up a legal pretext for preventing the marriage. Two days later
Joseph and Fanny are brought before the Justice of the Peace, who is
perfectly willing to acquiesce in Lady Booby’s plans.
The arrival of Lady Booby’s nephew, Mr. Booby, and his new wife, who
happens to be Joseph’s sister Pamela, thwarts the legal proceedings. Mr.
Booby, not wanting anything to upset his young wife, intervenes in the case
and springs her brother and Fanny. He then takes Joseph back to Booby Hall,
while Fanny proceeds to the Adams home. The next day Lady Booby
convinces Mr. Booby to join in her effort to dissuade Joseph from marrying
Fanny. Meanwhile, Fanny takes a walk near Booby Hall and endures an
assault by a diminutive gentleman named Beau Didapper; when the Beau
fails to have his way with Fanny, he delegates the office to a servant and
walks off. Fortunately, Joseph intervenes before the servant can get very far.
Joseph and Fanny arrive at the Adams home, where Mr. Adams counsels
Joseph to be moderate and rational in his attachment to his future wife. Just
as Adams finishes his recommendation of stoical detachment, someone
arrives to tell him that his youngest son, Dick, has just drowned in the river.
Mr. Adams, not so detached, weeps copiously for his son, who fortunately
comes running up to the house before long, having been rescued from the
river by the same Pedlar who earlier redeemed the travelers from one of their
inns. Adams rejoices and once again thanks the Pedlar, then resumes
counseling Joseph to avoid passionate attachments. Joseph attempts to point
out to Adams his own inconsistency, but to no avail.
Meanwhile, Lady Booby is plotting to use Beau Didapper to come
between Joseph and Fanny. She takes him, along with Mr. Booby and
Pamela, to the Adams household, where the Beau attempts to fondle Fanny
and incurs the wrath of Joseph. When the assembled Boobys suggest to
Joseph that he is wasting his time on the milkmaid, Joseph departs with his
betrothed, vowing to have nothing more to do with any relations who will not
accept Fanny.
Joseph, Fanny, the Pedlar, and the Adamses all dine together at an
alehouse that night. There, the Pedlar reveals that he has discovered that
Fanny is in fact the long-lost daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, which
would make her the sister of Joseph and thereby not eligible to be his wife.
Back at Booby Hall, Lady Booby rejoices to learn that Joseph and Fanny
have been discovered to be siblings. Everyone then gathers at the Hall, where
Mr. Booby advises everyone to remain calm and withhold judgment until the
next day, when Mr. and Mrs. Andrews will arrive and presumably will clear
things up.
 Late that night, hi-jinx ensue as Beau Didapper seeks Fanny’s bed but
ends up in Mrs. Slipslop’s. Slipslop screams for help, bringing Mr. Adams,
who mistakenly attacks Slipslop while the Beau gets away. Lady Booby then
arrives to find Adams and Slipslop in bed together, but the confusion
dissipates before long and Adams makes his way back toward his room.
Unfortunately, a wrong turn brings him to Fanny’s room, where he sleeps
until morning, when Joseph discovers the parson and the milkmaid in bed
together. After being briefly angry, Joseph concludes that Adams simply
made a wrong turn in the night.
Once Adams has left them alone, the apparent siblings vow that if they
turn out really to be siblings, they will both remain perpetually celibate. Later
that morning Mr. and Mrs. Andrews arrive, and soon it emerges that Fanny is
indeed their daughter, stolen from her cradle; what also emerges, however, is
that Joseph is not really their son but the changeling baby they received in
place of Fanny. The Pedlar suddenly thinks of the Wilson family, who long
ago lost a child with a distinctive birth-mark on his chest, and it so happens
that Joseph bears just such a distinctive birth-mark. Mr. Wilson himself is
luckily coming through the gate of Booby Hall at that very moment, so the
reunion between father and son takes place on the spot.
Everyone except Lady Booby then proceeds to Mr. Booby’s country
estate, and on the ride over Joseph and Fanny make their wedding
arrangements. After the wedding, the newlyweds settle near the Wilsons. Mr.
Booby dispenses a small fortune to Fanny, a valuable clerical living to Mr.
Adams, and a job as excise-man to the Pedlar. Lady Booby returns to a life of
flirtation in London.
