Tobias Smollett, a Scottish writer and surgeon, is renowned for his influential picaresque novels. Some of his notable works include The Adventures of Roderick Random, The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, and The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. These novels had a profound influence on later British novelists, including Charles Dickens. Smollett’s works often underwent alterations by contemporary printers, necessitating authoritative editions edited by scholars like Dr. O. M. Brack Jr.
