Description
Tom Jones, Henry Fielding's 1749 novel, is a comic masterpiece that has been both praised and attacked for its portrayal of human nature. The story follows Tom, a foundling with a wild temper and a penchant for women, as he navigates a complex web of relationships and societal expectations. Expelled from his home and forced to fend for himself, Tom's journey takes him across Britain, from the countryside to London, where he becomes embroiled in a world of high society and moral ambiguity. With its ingenious plot and memorable characters, Tom Jones remains one of the most influential novels in English literature. This modernized edition of Tom Jones features the emended fourth edition text, along with thorough notes, maps, and bibliography, making it an ideal choice for readers looking to explore this important work of 18th-century fiction.
