Description
Fielding's foundling protagonist tumbles through 18th-century England encountering highwaymen, aristocrats, and unexpected benefactors in a narrative that balances bawdy comedy with genuine philosophical reflection on virtue and chance. Tom Jones's lack of breeding becomes the novel's greatest asset, allowing Fielding to question what social status actually reveals about a person's character.
