The Letters of Tobias Smollett, M.D.

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

“American scholarship, serious, well-scaled, and well-applied.”—Observer (London)

“The excellent commentary furnished by Dr. Noyes goes far to make the letters set forth the man more fully. Much credit surely should be given him for rescuing an engaging and important personality from the obscuring shades of the past and giving him another day in court. Anybody who is interested in Smollett or the eighteenth-century writers—the best we have—shouldn’t fail to read this collection.”—The New York Times

“It need hardly be said that this careful and scholarly edition must count with the most important work that has been done in the biography of Smollett.”—Notes and Queries
