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.

评分近来读张谷若先生译的《弃儿汤姆·琼斯史》,其中的译注经常占一页的大部分篇幅。这个译本比萧乾,李丛弼译本多了三十万字,多出来的,译注就占了很大的比重。张先生的译作不多,但以文字古奥见长,所以有些人会抱怨。记得当年我读哈代的《苔丝》(或是《裘德》)读了几十...
评分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...
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...
