The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses: WORKS OF TOBIAS SMOLLETT

Both in its original French and its many translations, "The Adventures of Telemachus" was one of the most popular and revered works of the eighteenth century. There were more than ten English prose and poetry versions, including this masterful prose translation by Smollett. Known for his novels "Roderick Random" and "The Expedition of Humphry Clinker," Smollett was also a gifted translator. "The Adventures of Telemachus" was his final translation and is one of the finest versions of the work. Long a disputed title in the Smollett canon, it is fully restored to his credit by Leslie A. Chilton.
