Abstract

Abstract:This essay argues from the nature of Henry Fielding's Jonathan Wild as a miscellaneous linguistic salmagundi to a proposition that it is held together by a leitmotif of equally miscellaneous and perplexing opposites, which Fielding refers to as foils: the good-natured Heartfree being a foil to the villainous and hypocritical Wild. Fielding's usual ethical positives are foiled not only by Wild, but also by the strangely metaleptic "Good-natured Hole" in Laetitia's "Handkerchief," which exposes her bosom. Mrs. Heartfree's appeal to divine "PROVIDENCE" is foiled by the insertion of a phrase and an episode derived from the subversive philosophy of Baruch Spinoza, which gives notice of a contrary attitude to cause and effect. Anti-Walpole satirical innuendoes are accompanied by another set of winks and nudges which develop a previously unnoticed anti-Jacobite subtext with which Walpole would have been in full agreement.

摘要:本文从亨利·菲尔丁(Henry Fielding)的《乔纳森·怀尔德》(Jonathan Wild。菲尔丁通常的道德积极性不仅被怀尔德所挫败,还被莱蒂蒂亚的《手帕》中露出胸部的奇怪的金属感“善良的洞”所挫败。Heartfree夫人对神圣的“普罗维登斯”的呼吁被插入了一个短语和一个源自巴鲁克·斯宾诺莎颠覆性哲学的插曲所挫败,该短语和插曲表明了对因果的相反态度。反沃尔波尔的讽刺影射伴随着另一组眨眼和轻推,形成了一个以前未被注意到的反雅各宾派的潜台词,沃尔波尔本会完全同意这一潜台词。
