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.

评分《汤姆•琼斯》向来以结构巧妙著称,它的问世,给欧洲文学带来了新的叙事结构。在《汤姆•琼斯》之前,传统叙事文学的叙事结构要么是以《奥德修纪》、《小赖子》、《唐吉诃德》等流浪汉小说为代表的时间性小说,沿着时间线性顺序发展剧情,要么是以《伊利昂纪》为代表的空...

评分 评分从我读过的小说来看,严肃文学和通俗文学有一个区别,就是严肃文学在小说中严肃地探讨所遭遇的人生麻烦,甚至没有麻烦还要制造麻烦,而通俗文学则通俗地把这些麻烦给解决掉了,解决这些麻烦的方法就是通过巧合甚至神仙打救。 且不说汤姆琼斯,就连其爱人索菲亚,也随时...
