In November 1753, the British author Sarah Fielding received half the payment for her novel The Cry and asked that the other half, when due, go to her “or to whomsoever I shall appoint”, probably implying that the remaining share was purposed for someone else. In fact, many believe that the novel was a collaborative venture between Fielding and Jane Collier. This specific collaboration was likely enough, as the two were close friends with similar interests. They wrote jointly authored letters, were both published authors with a lively interest in each other’s work, and were passionate supporters of didacticism and innovation in fiction—core concerns of The Cry. However, contemporaries accredit the work solely to Fielding, and there is nothing in the novel that is incompatible with Fielding’s other writings. For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
