In his third novel, Smollett, the master of picaresque comedy, presents a character who Walter Scott called “a complete picture of human depravity.” The refined and unrepentantly evil Count Fathom lies, cheats, and philanders his way across England and Europe. Having done so, he makes a return appearance in The Expedition of Humphry Clinker.
Об авторе
Tobias George Smollett (1721-1771) was a Scottish author and poet whose picaresque novels, such as Roderick Random and Peregrine Pickle, influenced many later authors, including Charles Dickens. Educated in medicine at the University of Glasgow, Smollett earned a commission as a surgeon aboard the HMS Chichester. He settled in Downing Street to devote himself to writing.
