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.

評分《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...
評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...
評分 評分琼斯的一生真可谓是永远在沸腾着的开水,冒着泡,散发着热气,把对此感到好奇的人也通常熏得满头蒸汽。其中的起承转合既连贯又毫不冲突,让人感觉是那么的连贯。除了结构和构思极巧以外,人物形象也塑造的极为成功;而每卷伊始都会有一个评论来发表作者的观点的。 结构 ...
