About the author
Tobias Smollett (1721–1771) was a Scottish author, surgeon, journalist, historian, translator, editor, and travel writer. Born near Renton in West Dunbartonshire, he studied medicine in Glasgow before turning to literature and publishing his first major novel, The Adventures of Roderick Random, in 1748.
Smollett became known for energetic, often comic stories filled with eccentric characters, rough humor, and social satire. His other important works include The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, Travels Through France and Italy, and The Expedition of Humphry Clinker, generally regarded as his finest novel. He died in Livorno, Italy, in 1771.
