The Expedition of Humphry Clinker

The humorous novel *The Expedition of Humphry Clinker* follows a conflicted and loving family as they tour Britain through letters. Their humorous accounts of Bath, London, Scotland, and other places expose social follies, socioeconomic inequalities, medical trends, and national biases. Humphry Clinker, a humble servant, is the centre of this upheaval, and his sincerity reveals his victims' weaknesses. By blending satire, trip narrative, and epistolary genre, Tobias Smollett captures eighteenth-century life.
