Life Of Tobias George Smollett
By David Hannay
Published by Walter Scott: London 1887

" David Hannay's Life of Tobias George Smollett offers a clear, engaging and well-researched portrait of one of the great comic novelists of the eighteenth century. Drawing upon Smollett's letters, published works and contemporary accounts, Hannay reconstructs the author's colourful life—from his Scottish beginnings and naval experiences to his success as the creator of Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle and Humphry Clinker. The biography explores Smollett's temperament, professional struggles, satirical brilliance and his influence on the development of the English novel, all conveyed in Hannay's lively and accessible prose.

Published in 1887 as part of the wave of renewed Victorian interest in major literary figures, this Walter Scott edition reflects late-nineteenth-century scholarship at its most enthusiastic and appreciative. Hannay's study remains a valuable introduction to Smollett's life and legacy, making the volume attractive to collectors of literary biography, students of eighteenth-century fiction, and readers drawn to the lives of Britain's early novelists and satirists."
