From the Back Cover
When London shook in 1750, some blamed Fielding's scandalous story of a lovable moral reprobate, Tom Jones. In this paramount picaresque novel, Tom Jones blunders past the backdrop of the Jacobite rebellion, encountering corruption, passion and incest. He waits for his hidden virtue to be rewarded in the form of his marvelous Sophia; but the greatest triumph is of Fielding's matchless style.
