T. (Tobias) Smollett

1721–1771

A sharp, energetic voice of 18th-century fiction, he brought comic chaos and restless travel to novels that still feel brisk and alive. Trained as a surgeon and drawn to satire, he wrote with the speed, bite, and eye for character that made him one of the great picaresque storytellers in English.
