Originally published in 1974, this volume of The History of Pompey
the Little includes a critical introduction and a biographical
sketch of the author based on new material from unpublished
documents, together with explanatory notes for the novel's many
classical and contemporary allusions. Francis Coventry's The
History of Pompey the Little was the talk of London in 1751; it
continued to captivate readers throughout the century. Satirizing
notable persons and events of its day, it startled the public by
having as its 'hero' a Bologna lapdog, and created a new and
popular form in English fiction - the 'spy'-novel with a non-human
observer.
