The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. It is a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. It was first published on 28 February 1749 in London and is among the earliest English works to be classified as a novel. Pierre-Antoine de La Place (1707 11793) was an 18th-century French writer and playwright, the first translator of Shakespeare into French. His first literary attempts having been barely noticed, he imagined to send the news of his death in Paris where it was inserted in the Feuilles of abbot Desfontaines. If the scheme, once discovered, triggered laugh at the author's expense, the succès de scandale also drew him out of his darkness. The English literature being then fashionable, La Place was quick to exploit the genre from which he drew most of his income. In 1750, he became the first translator of Tom Jones, Henry Fielding's masterpiece, and the works of his sister, Sarah Fielding. RAREF1764ELMH - 10/21 FORN-SHELF-0467-BB-2410-HKREV214.…
