1707–1754
Best known for lively, comic novels that helped shape the English novel, this 18th-century writer brought sharp wit, social satire, and a big-hearted feel for human nature to books like Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones. He also had a remarkable second career in public service, helping lay the groundwork for modern policing in London.
