弃儿汤姆琼斯的英文详细介绍及Henry Fielding 写这篇小说的目的?
I am dying to know the concrete introduction(English version)of Tom JOnes,a foundling and Henry fielding's purpose of accomplishing this novel many thanks!

Answer 1

Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind,wealthy landowner,Squire Allworthy,in Somerset in England's West Country.Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty,yet honest and kind-hearted,youth.He develops affection for his neighbour's daughter,Sophia Western.On one hand,their love reflects the romantic comedy genre that was popular in 18th-century Britain.However,Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love;this criticism of class friction in society acted as a biting social commentary.
