Summary: "The Lovers Assistant; Or, New Art of Love" by Henry Fielding and Ovid is a satirical guide on romance written in the mid-18th century. This work blends elements of classic literature with 18th-century social customs, presenting a humorous take on the art of love through a series of allegories and lessons. The text takes on a playful voice, setting out rules and strategies for young gentlemen on how to engage in romantic pursuits. At the start of this treatise, the narrator positions himself as a "Preceptor of Love," who invites young men to learn the art of cunningly wooing women. He outlines the essential steps to romance: selecting a proper mistress, winning her affections, and maintaining mutual love. Drawing on a range of classical references and lively anecdotes, the narrator emphasizes the importance of confidence, timing, and knowing one’s audience while pursuing love interests. The introduction serves as a playful yet instructive prelude to the satirical advice he will dispense throughout the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
