- Inhalt
- The seminar discusses the origins and various developments of the most significant genre in eighteenth-century England by focussing on two main representatives of mid-eighteenth-century novel, Henry Fielding and Tobias Smollett. The novel was shaped by and helped shaping a growing market society which offered more and more people new forms education and of social and economic participation. At the same time writing, reading and selling books included activities that meant to represent, explain and advance British society and the role of Great Britain in a rapidly changing world. Among the many novels one could read the seminar will focus on two literary rivals and followers of the picaresque tradition, Tobias Smollett’s Roderick Random (1748) and Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones (1749). While Smollett was a medical doctor and adventurer, Fielding was rather interested in teaching individuals how to improve society together with his friend, the painter William Hogarth and his blind brother, the magistrate John Fielding.
