    Description

    Leather Binding

    Smollett is best known for his picaresque novels which heavily influenced great Victorian novelists such as Charles Dickens. These six volumes exhibit some of the finest works written by this noted eighteenth century author. Stylistically, Smollett is known for the humour in his novels. The fourth edition. With the likes of 'The Expedition of Humphry Clinker', 'Sir Launcelot Greaves', 'The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom' as well as Smollett's plays and poems. Smollett's writings are referenced by subsequent literature, again emphasizing his influence. George Eliot's 'Middlemarch' refers to 'Roderick Random' and 'Humphry Clinker'. Thackeray's 'Vanity Fair' also references Clinker. With a portrait frontispiece of Smollett to the first volume. A smart set of this popular author's writings.
