你要知道的是这部作品吗:
多比亚斯•乔治•斯摩莱特(Tobias George Smollett,1721—1771)苏格兰人
“The Regicide”(弑君记)(1749)

According to tradition, Smollett was born beneath a plane tree at Dalquharn House on the family estate of Bonhill in the Vale of Leven, near the village of Renton (Dumbartonshire). The house and tree are no longer there, but Cameron house, the family home from 1763, still stands and now contains a small museum. The nearby village of Alexandria is named after a family member.
At fourteen Smollett was apprenticed to a Glasgow doctor. He studied medicine at Glasgow University and moved to London in 1740. He was a ship's surgeon in the Carragena expedition against the Spanish in the West Indies, and lived in Jamaica until 1744 when he returned to London and renewed his earlier attempts to stage a play he had written ("The Regicide"), but still met with no success. He also failed to set up his own medical practice, but published two political satires ("Advice" and "Reproof") which brought him to notice, and into dispute (fuelled by his own short temper) with several literary figures.

His first novel, the partly autobiographical picaresque "Roderick Random" (1748), was an immediate success. He was to follow it with "Peregrine Pickle" (1751), "Ferdinand, Count Fathom" (1753), "Sir Launcelot Greaves" (1762) and "Humphry Clinker" (1771).

Smollett's life was characterised by spats and feuds. Garrick was never forgiven for turning down "The Regicide", and a quarrel with Rich, the Covent Garden manager, meant that Smollett's masque "Alceste" (with music by Handel) was never performed. Handel called Smollett "a damn fool". Another of Smollett's foes was the highly touchy David Malloch, and a libellous attack on Admiral Knowles in the Critical Review (which Smollett edited 1756-63) even led to Smollett being briefly imrisoned in 1759.

Smollett was also troubled (like most writers) by lack of money, which led him to do translations (including "Gil Blas" and "Don Quixote") and literary editing (most notably of the works of Voltaire). His other books include "Travels through France and Italy", and the political satire "The History and Adventures of an Atom" (1769).

He spent his last years abroad in poor health, and died in Livorno (Italy) on 21 October 1771. Two years later, Johnson and Boswell stayed at Cameron House with Smollett's cousin James, who was preparing to erect a Tuscan column in Smollett's memory at Renton. Johnson helped compose the Latin obituary on the plinth, and the column stood (at least until recently, when it appears to have been moved) in what subsequently became the playground of Alexandria Primary School.
