The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom (Works of Tobias Smollett)

By Tobias Smollett

Book Overview

The hero of Ferdinand Count Fathom (1753) is a monster of treachery and fraud. Fate and coincidence play a large part in his picaresque progress through England and Europe, and much of the narrative is written in a mock-heroic style. This critical study explains the literary and historical background of the 18th-century world in which the book was written.
