The narrative follows Peregrine Pickle, an egotistical dandy whose life is marked by a series of misadventures, from his troubled upbringing to his eventual redemption and marriage. Smollett's comic lens critiques 18th-century European society, juxtaposing the genteel with the common. The introduction offers insights into the novel's history and critical reception, while the text reflects the original 1751 edition, enhanced by illustrations from notable artists. A comprehensive textual apparatus concludes the work, enriching the reading experience.
