About the book
"Amelia — Complete" by Henry Fielding is a novel published in December 1751. This domestic tale follows the turbulent marriage of Amelia and Captain William Booth as they navigate poverty, temptation, and misfortune in 1730s London. When Booth lands in prison and succumbs to seduction, Amelia remains faithful despite attention from other suitors. Gambling debts and mounting troubles threaten to destroy them. Rich with classical allusions and exploring themes of marriage and feminine virtue, this final novel from Fielding presents a darker portrait of love tested by circumstance.
