{"product_id":"2940000749302","title":"English Men of Letters: Fielding","description":"Biography of the 18th century comic novelist, author of Tom Jones. The Prefactory Note begins: \"From a critical point of view, the works of Fielding have received abundant examination at the hands of a long line of distinguished writers. Of these, the latest is by no means the least; and as Mr. Leslie Stephen's brilliant studies, in the recent _edition de luxe_ and the _Cornhill Magazine_, are now in every one's hands, it is perhaps no more than a wise discretion which has prompted me to confine my attention more strictly to the purely biographical side of the subject. In the present memoir, therefore, I have made it my duty, primarily, to verify such scattered anecdotes respecting Fielding as have come down to us; to correct (I hope not obtrusively) a few mis-statements which have crept into previous accounts; and to add such supplementary details as I have been able to discover for myself.\"  ","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180386074864,"sku":"2940000749302","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940000749302_p0.jpg?v=1763544817","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940000749302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
