• A contextual section on "The Romance Tradition" illuminates aspects of Fielding's novel with passages drawn from Heliodorus, Cervantes, and Scarron.
• Fielding's engagement in philosophical and religious controversies of his day are brought to light in the section on "Ethics and Theology."
• The relevancy of topics to today that Fielding raises in his novel are taken up in the section on "The Psychology of Laughter and in "What Contemporaries Said." 
• Andrew Potkay draws wherever possible upon eighteenth-century reference works as some familiar-looking words meant entirely different things to Fielding from what they do today.
