Description
For most readers this is one of the great comic novels in the English language, a vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteeth-century life, with a plot which Coleridge described as one of the three most perfect ever planned. In addition Tom Jones possesses an underlying seriousness and all the rich and generous humanity of its author.
