"Fielding is generally agreed to be an innovating master of the highest originality He himself believed that he was 'the founder of a new province of writing' and Sir W. Scott commended him for his 'high notions of the dignity of an art which he may be considered as having funded'... In breaking away... he devised what he described as 'comic epics in prose', which are in effect the first modern novels in English" (OCEL).
