The Modern Husband is a novel written by the famous English author Henry Fielding. The story revolves around Harry, a young man who is married to a wealthy and beautiful woman named Belinda. Harry is a spendthrift and has a gambling problem, which puts a strain on their marriage. Belinda is unhappy with Harry's behavior and seeks the advice of her friend Lady Wronghead, who suggests that she should take control of their finances.Belinda takes Lady Wronghead's advice and becomes the manager of their household. She also hires a tutor for Harry to help him manage his finances. However, Harry resents Belinda's interference and decides to take revenge by having an affair with Lady Wronghead. This leads to a series of misunderstandings and complications, which threaten to destroy their marriage.The novel is a satirical commentary on the social and moral issues of the time, including marriage, gender roles, and financial management. Fielding uses humor and irony to criticize the hypocrisy and immorality of the upper classes. The Modern Husband is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the 18th century.I can't help saying, those things are not easily obtained. I heartily wish I could serve you in any thing--It gives me a great deal of Uneasiness that my Power is not equal to my Desire.--Damn it, I must turn this Discourse, or he'll never have done with it. Oh, Bellamant! have you heard of the new Opera of Mr. Crambo?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
