from History of Tom Jones, A Foundling · host Henry Fielding

Tom Jones stands as one of the earliest examples of the modern novel, captivating readers with its rich storytelling and vibrant characters. Divided into 18 smaller books, the narrative follows Tom, a foundling discovered by the benevolent Squire Allworthy. As he matures into a spirited and passionate young man, Toms heart is drawn to Sophia Western, the daughter of his neighbor. Their romance, echoing the themes of 18th-century romantic comedy, faces opposition due to Toms illegitimate status, highlighting the societal class struggles of the time. The novel boldly tackles issues of prostitution and sexual freedom, challenging contemporary norms and inviting criticism for its perceived vulgarity. (Summary from Wikipedia)
