The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

Henry Fielding (1707-1754) began his career as a novelist in 1740 with Shamela (written as a negative response to Richardson's Pamela). The following year, he published Joseph Andrews, with which he anticipates his masterpiece, Tom Jones. His final work, The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon, was published posthumously in 1755. Thomas Keymer is Elmore Fellow and Tutor in English at St Anne's College, Oxford. His books include Sterne, the Moderns, and the Novel (2002), and co-edited with John Mee, The Cambridge Companion to English Literature 1740-1830 (2004).

A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire—though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.

读后感

本科英国文学史上读到过简介，十几年过去了才来拔草。记得以前有个文学家说过看一部小说是否伟大，就看其塑造的场景和人物是否丰富和丰满，从这个角度来看，这的确是一部伟大的小说。据说是英国小说的开山之作呢，谈谈男主角琼斯吧，他长得非常好，颜值应该和杨过差不多了，总...  

书评标题是毛姆老爷子对这部小说的评价。我也是看了老爷子在Books and You里的推荐才看的。不过要先说下缺点：书太厚，（本来可以写得薄很多），穿插了许多作者自己对文学、文学批评等的见解、讽刺，在故事中间又有不少议论，很多情节过于巧合，因此显得设计的意图太明显，另外...  

我是在微信读书上看的，可惜是个简版。好处是一天就看完了。这让我有点小开心，忙里还能看完一本书。 由于是简版，所以故事进展神速，没有太多细节委婉的描述，一抬眼往往情节已经走了十万八千里。我要再找时间去看全文版。 如果这书给我什么感觉，那就是行文的转角多，埋伏多...

比《坎特伯雷故事》晚350多年，比随后的莎士比亚晚了约150年，然而比狄更斯、萨克雷的著作早约一百年，有了各国历史背景的我越来越看重文学经典所处的历史阶段，师承谁或者借鉴谁，然后又成为谁的先驱或导师。1740年代已经不算是非常久远的年代，然而若将其与同时期的《红楼梦...
