Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify Smollett's use of Quixote figures and of allusions to Don Quixote in his five novels. Smollett was busy translating Don Quixote as early as 1748, and he was very much engaged in or had completed translating Don Quixote when he was writing Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, and Ferdinand Count Fathom, Smollett's translation being published in 1755.
