New York. 1973. Oxford University Press. 1st of This Oxford English Novels Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 019255364x. Edited and with an introduction by David Evans. 234 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England 18th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This is the first reprinting of Smollett's fourth novel as it originally appeared in monthly issues of the British Magazine from January 1760 to December 1761. Its central characters are an English Don Quixote and his squire who draw into their chivalric escapades such Smollettian satiric types as the sea captain, the medical man, the attorney, and the misanthrope. Launcelot Greaves has, like Smollett's earlier novels, a lively pace, broad social criticism, vivid caricature, and mixture of sensibility and satire. It is a new venture for Smollett, though, not only in its direct paralleling of Don Quixote but in including a clearly articulated set of positive ideals against which various forms of social injustice are measured. Like Smollett's other books, Launcelot Greaves is highly topical. Literary capital is made of Smollett's imprisonment in the King's Bench Prison in 1760-1761, and much attention is given to such contemporary matters as the corruption of Justices of the Peace, the injustice of debtor's laws, the rancours of party politics, and the conduct of the Seven Years' War. The novel is indispensable reading for anyone who would understand the most varied of the eighteenth-century novelists, and generally appealing for its zestful interpretation of some of the social and political realities that excited people in Britain about the time of the accession of George III. inventory #42790.
