TOM JONES

Henry Fielding

His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.
Ribald and rollicking, Tom Jones is Fielding's comic classic of a young man's coming-of-age. While recognized today as a landmark of the English novel, Dr. Johnson once observed, "I am sorry to hear you have read it; a confession which no modest lady should ever make."
