Description

Tobias Smollett (1721-71) is best known today as a novelist whereas in the eighteenth century he was primarily regarded as a historian and critic. In Tobias Smollett in the Enlightenment, Richard J. Jones explores the diversity of Smolletts journalistic and literary writings and establishes new connections between Smolletts work and writers of the Scottish Enlightenment. Taking as his focal point Smolletts visit to Nice, between 1763 and 1765, and the account he wrote of it in Travels through France and Italy (1766), Jones argues that Smolletts account should be read as a pocket encyclopedia in the tradition of Voltaire, rather than as a conventional travel narrative. Discussing Smolletts engagement with medicine, fine art, the theater and history, Jones offers a productive juxtaposition of authors, texts and contexts, presenting Smollett as a writer whose Scottish (and particularly Glaswegian) identity informed his involvement in a wider European Enlightenment.
