The Adventures of Roderick Random

This is the definitive scholarly edition of Smollett's first novel, widely regarded as a masterpiece and a chief rival to Henry Fielding's comic novel Tom Jones. Surging with verbal, sexual, and martial energy, The Adventures of Roderick Random opens a window on life, love, and war in the eighteenth century.
