An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews, commonly known as Shamela, is a biting satirical novel penned by Henry Fielding and first released in April 1741 under the pseudonym Mr. Conny Keyber. Although Fielding never officially claimed authorship, the work is widely attributed to him. This novel serves as a scathing critique of the then-cherished Pamela by Samuel Richardson, Fieldings literary rival. Presented in the epistolary format, Shamela reveals an astonishing twist on the life of Pamela Andrews, unraveling her true identity as Shamela—a cunning and immoral character intent on ensnaring her master, Squire Booby, into matrimony. Prepare for a humorous and outrageous exploration of deception and desire! (Summary by Wikipedia)
