Humphry Clinker The Expedition of Humphry Clinker was the last of the picaresque novels of Tobias Smollett, first published in 1771, and is considered by many to be Smollett's best and funniest work. The title character, Humphry Clinker, is an ostler[?] who does not make his first appearance until about a quarter of the way through the story, when he is taken on by Matthew Bramble, a Welshman, and his family who are travelling through England. After various romantic interludes, Humphry suffers false imprisonment but is rescued and returned to his sweetheart, the maid Winifred Jenkins. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/hu/Humphry_Clinker.html   (149 words)

[No title] The characters of Humphry Clinker move from place to place, and as they do so, the novel provides us with quite different evaluations of such quite different places as Bath, London, Yorkshire, and Edinburgh. Though Humphry Clinker does have an actual plot (in fact, several of them), it does not seem of much importance for much of the novel. Humphry Clinker seems to offer a rich test case for the problems of describing and evaluating the issue of gender in a comic and satiric novel. www.faculty.umb.edu /charles_knight/EN640/smohum.htm   (804 words)

§26. "Humphrey Clinker;" Smollett’s last journey and death. II. Fielding and Smollett. Vol. 10. The Age of ... In its way, this is another picaresque story, insomuch as, during its progress, the characters (who relate everything in letters to their friends) pursue their travels in England and Scotland. Winifred Jenkins, the maid, and Humphrey Clinker himself, the “methodist” manservant whom they pick up on their travels—all these are characters more deeply and kindly seen than any of their predecessors except Hawser Trunnion. The best among them all is Lismahago, the Scottish soldier, needy, argumentative, proud, eccentric—a figure of genuine comedy, among whose many descendants must be reckoned one of great eminence, Dugald Dalgetty. www.bartleby.com /220/0226.html   (494 words)

FRBRizing Humphry Clinker [OCLC - FRBR] The work chosen as a case study was Tobias Smollett's The Expedition of Humphry Clinker (first published in 1771). The eighteenth-century Clinker is an epistolary novel, presenting a series of letters from members of a particular family as they travel about Britain.

Amazon.com: The Expedition of Humphry Clinker (The World's Classics): Books: Tobias Smollett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) An epistolary novel, "Humphry Clinker" is no stranger in format to the eighteenth century - however, odd to me was the fact that none of the writers - Squire Bramble, his sister Tabitha, their nephew and niece Jery and Lydia Melford, and Tabitha's waiting woman Winifred - ever receives a response. Their various perspectives on two of the novel's minor characters, the eponymous Humphry Clinker and the combative disputant Scot Obadiah Lismahago (the most cosmopolitan figure among the recurring characters), confer substance, interest, and warmth upon characters who do not themselves write letters. Humphrey Clinker is a 17th century epistolary novel which tells the tale of the Bramble family and its travels through England and Scotland. amazon.com /Expedition-Humphry-Clinker-Worlds-Classics/dp/0192816640   (2410 words)

FRBR: Application of the Entity-Relationship Model to Humphry Clinker At least twenty-three different editors have contributed to Humphry Clinker of which fourteen were used as added entries in any of the bibliographic records. At least for Humphry Clinker the increased use of added entries would appear to be an effective way to identify expression-like changes. In the example of Humphry Clinker the set of expression created from the existing bibliographic records is very different from the set based on physical examination of the books themselves. www.acsu.buffalo.edu /~ulcjh/FRBRoneill.html   (2111 words)

"I will take the whole upon my own shoulders": collections and corporeality in 'Humphry Clinker.' - by Tobias Smollett ... Smollett addressed the role of a negative model in his Prefatory Address to an earlier novel, The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom (1753). Still, in the same Address, Smollett states that his novel will also introduce "a virtuous character, in opposition... with a view to amuse the fancy, engage the affection, and form a striking contrast which might heighten the expression, and give a relief to the moral of the whole."(44) Though the women of the expedition provide "a striking contrast" to Bramble and suggest the potential for "relief," Humphry Clinker's "virtuous character" resides elsewhere. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2220/is_n4_v36/ai_15990321/pg_15   (551 words)
