Published in 1771, The Expedition of Humphry Clinker is Tobias Smollett’s last and most celebrated novel. Written in epistolary form — through the letters of several very different members and servants of the Bramble family as they travel from Wales through England and Scotland — it offers a vivid, comic, and often satirical portrait of eighteenth-century British society.
Smollett’s sharp eye for social hypocrisy, regional character, and comic misadventure made this novel a classic of the period. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg to enjoy one of the eighteenth century’s most entertaining comic narratives.
