First sentence: In the preface to his classic satirical novel, Joseph Andrews (1742), Henry Fielding refers ironically to the then Poet Laureate, Colley Cibber, who had recently published his autobiography and who, Fielding wrote, 'lived the life he recorded and his by many thought to have lived such a life only in order to write it'.
