"The Works of Henry Fielding, vol. 11" by Henry Fielding is a collection of works composed in the early to mid-18th century. This volume features "A Journey from This World to the Next" and "A Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon," showcasing Fielding's satirical exploration of life, death, and the human condition. The narrative focuses on an allegorical journey after death, potentially intertwined with social commentary, reflecting on concepts such as virtue, morality, and the follies of humanity. At the start of "A Journey from This World to the Next," the author describes the experience of dying and meeting Mercury, who guides him towards the stage for the afterlife. After departing his physical body, the author reflects on the absurdities he encounters, including a coach ride with various spirits who share the stories of their deaths. Each spirit offers insights into their past lives and ailments, contributing to a diverse tapestry of characters that underline themes of mortality and the varying perspectives on life’s misfortunes. As the journey unfolds, readers are introduced to a blend of humor and pathos, providing a thoughtful examination of human nature through the lens of the afterlife.
