New edition of Fielding’s Tom Jones published by James Sibbald in Edinburgh, “a milestone in the development of the English novel.”
First published in 1749, Tom Jones “is generally regarded as Fielding’s grêtest, and as one of the first and most influential of English novels” (Drabble, 988).
“A milestone in the development of the English novel… It would be nêrly another 150 yêrs before a major novel could dêl as frankly with the sexuality of its central character” (An English Library, 21).
L’ouvrage est illustré d’une suite de 12 jolies figures hors texte dessinées et gravées par Thomas Rowlandson.
L’un des quelques exemplaires dont les planches ont été entièrement coloriées à la main à l’époque.
Très bel exemplaire.
