Excerpt from The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams: Written in Imitation of the Manner of Cervantes, Author of "Don Quixote"
Thus the Telemachus of the Archbishop of Cambray ap pears to me of the epic kind, as well as the Odyssey of Homer; indeed, it is much fairer and more reasonable to give it a name common with that species from which it difiers only in a single instance, than to confound it with those which it resembles in no other - such as those vol uminons works, commonly called Romances, namely, Clelia, Cleopatra, Astrsea, Cassandra, the Grand Cyrus, and innumerable others, which contain, as I apprehend, very little instruction or entertainment.
