At the center of one of the most ingenious plots in English fiction stands a hero whose actions were as shocking in their day as we might find them funny today. Tom Jones, a young man of questionable birth, is raised as the son of a member of the minor gentry, only to fall prey to the cruelties of his malicious cousin and the wiles of the neighboring heiress.
