Henry Fielding (1707-1754) was an English novelist, irony writer, and dramatist known for earthy humour and satire. He wrote
A Dialogue between Alexander the Great and Diogenes the Cynic in 1743. How can we classify this work of his? It is an ironic text, in dialogic form, not without a subtle philosophical and political criticism. A satirical and surreal text that compares Alexander the Great, the conqueror of the world, and the Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, one of the founders of Cynicism. A dialogue certainly imaginary, but alive and profound, which ranges over the themes of life and the ephemerality of glory. A dialogue set in the fourth century BC, but which reflects the politics, morals and contradictions of 18th century England.
