"The Adventures of Telemachus" is the first critical edition of
Tobias Smollett's 1776 translation of Bishop Fenelon's 1699 "mirror
for princes," written especially for Duc de Burgogne, heir
presumptive to Louis XIV.
Both in its original French and its many translations, "The
Adventures of Telemachus" was one of the most popular and revered
works of the eighteenth century. There were more than ten English
prose and poetry versions, including this masterful prose
translation by Smollett. Known for his novels "Roderick Random" and
"The Expedition of Humphry Clinker," Smollett was also a gifted
translator. "The Adventures of Telemachus" was his final
translation and is one of the finest versions of the work. Long a
disputed title in the Smollett canon, it is fully restored to his
credit by Leslie A. Chilton.
