  First published in 1753, this experimental work explores the relations between history and fiction while introducing episodes of Gothic melodrama. Filled with satiric thrusts at the legal, medical, and military establishments of mid-eighteenth-century Europe, the novel reveals Smollett's capacities as a commentator on contemporary life.
