Tobias George Smollett

£7.99

Robert Giddings' sociological approach to Tobias Smollett re-illuminates - and, in many cases, will introduce for the first time - a much-read Scottish novelist who has so far had scant regard from critics. In this study Giddings demonstrates how Smollett became one of the first of Great Britain's writers to earn a living (if not always one which was as full as he deserved) from his pen. He also shows how, for all the neglect of him, Smollett was a major novelist, both in his own right and as an important influence on Dickens.
