A Look Inside

“The capital is become an overgrown monster; which like a dropsical head, will in time leave the body and extremities without nourishment and support.”

“At every place where we halted, did she mount the stage, and flourished her rusty arms, without being able to make one conquest.”

― Tobias Smollett, The Expedition of Humphry Clinker

About the Book

The setting, comprising of affluent spa towns, inns, and coastal resorts, provides the author's characters with plenty of chances to make ironic remarks on English and Scottish culture, manners, and politics.

During their journey, they come across several peculiar individuals, one of them is a destitute youth named Humphrey Clinker, who develops a strong attachment to Bramble. The comedy largely stems from the same incident, which is shown through the perspectives of six persons in the form of letters.
