A preface by this author puts forward “the Ridiculous” as the subject for the novel defined as “a comic epic poem in prose.” One of this author’s (15[1])characters gets hit by a bottle thrown by Ensign Notherton, whom he later stops from strangling a woman on the side of the road. In a novel by this author, Mr. Wilson identifies a strawberry birthmark on the (15[1]-5[1])protagonist’s chest, revealing that he is (-5[1])not (-5[1])actually the (*) brother of another author’s protagonist. One of this author’s characters rescues and sleeps with Mrs. Waters, only to find out that she is his ostensible mother, (10[1])Jenny Jones. This author, who parodied a moralizing rival in (10[1])Joseph Andrews, wrote (10[1])a ribald (10[3])novel about a foundling (10[3])raised by (10[1])Squire (10[2])Allworthy. For 10 points, name this enemy of Samuel Richardson, who wrote Tom (10[1])Jones. (10[5]0[3])■END■
