Talk:Tobias Smollett

Untitled
This is what The Literary Review had as it's content (created by an anonymous user):
 * It isn't "The Literary Review" but "The Critical Review." Smollett helped to found it and edited and contributed from 1756 to 1763. See James Basker, Tobias Smollett, Critic and Journalist for a detailed study of Smollett's time at the "Critical."

I figure it may be useful to any editors working on this article, if the correction is correct. Whitejay251 22:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC):
 * It is The Literary Review. The correction is incorrect.  The user may be anonymous, but the Editor-at-Large of The Literary Review is Jeremy Lewis, who also wrote the well-known biography, Tobias Smollett (Cape, 2003). --89.10.28.5 (talk) 10:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Possible addition to 6.4 Translations
I read that a critical edition of The Adventures of Telemachus (sic) from the University of Georgia Press (2014, Leslie A. Chilton, ed.) definitively established the translation used as that of Smollett. I have not seen this book, but if the assertion is true there is another work to be added to 6.4. One point needs further investigation, though: my source refers to the translation as a work of 1776, five years after Smollett's death... GianniBGood (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Dear Lord
There seems to be a lot missing here, whether this article is true or whether it isn't, in which case Smollett is somehow involved in some bizarre academic hoax. Don Shelton credits Smollett with a truly boggling amount of work under multiple pseudonyms, including William Owen, H. Carpenter, and J. Freeman. If Shelton is entirely mistaken, is there something particular about Smollett that accumulated these ideas? or it's entirely just a single person's historical art project? — Llywelyn II   14:52, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
