Fielding's Chapter Title
Captions available
The idea
Fielding heads his first chapter as showing the wholesome uses drawn from recording the achievements of those wonderful productions of nature called great men. The book's subject is a criminal. Wholesome, wonderful and great are all doing ironic work before the narrative has begun.
In practice
The title is already ironic.
Where people slip
Irony can start at the heading.
