Summary

Joseph Andrews refuses Lady Booby's advances. She discharges him, and Joseph--in the company of his old tutor, Parson Adams (one of the great comic figures of literature)--sets out from London to visit his sweetheart, Fanny. Along the way, the two travelers meet with a series of adventures--some hilarious, some heartstopping--in which through their own innocence and honesty they expose the hypocrisy and affectation of others.
