Almost forgotten writer,

This review is from: Tobias Smollett: Essays of Two Decades (Hardcover)
Only a specialist in English literature would have heard of Smollett, let alone read his works. He died in 1771 and his writings have languished consistently since then. Though when he lived, he was fairly well known amongst educated Britons.
Rosseau gives us a series of essays on Smollett that compare him favourably to his contemporaries like Defoe, Stevenson and Fielding. If you have never read Smollett, this book might intrigue you enough to do so. |
