Henry Fielding
Tom Jones
Summary
Tom Jones is brought up by the generous Mr Allworthy on his Somerset estate, where Tom eventually falls in love with his beautiful neighbour, Sophia Western. Because of his partially unknown parentage, however, their respective guardians are against the match. When Tom is banished due to his occasionally heated temper and sexual encounters with local girls, he has an adventure full of danger and surprise. Ultimately he follows Sophia to London, who herself is fleeing from an undesirable arranged marriage.
