The novel chronicles the life of Tom, a charismatic and generous foundling discovered by Squire Allworthy, as he embarks on a journey to discover his true identity and fortune. Fielding presents Tom as a multidimensional protagonist who embodies both virtues and vices, marking a significant evolution in character development within the history of the novel. As one of the earliest examples of the novel of incident, the book has exerted a profound influence on the trajectory of modern fiction, offering an exuberant exploration of human nature, morality, and social experience. This 1985 Modern Library edition, edited by Fredson Bowers with an introduction by Martin C. Battestin, presents the definitive text for scholars and readers alike, solidifying the novel's enduring status in the literary canon.",{"@graph":69,"@context":121},[70,84,104],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-history-of-tom-jones-a-foundling/626876/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":98,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":99,"interactionStatistic":100},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-history-of-tom-jones-a-foundling/626876.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"PakDamar76","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21",true,{"@type":101,"interactionType":102,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":103},"ViewAction",{"@type":105,"mainEntity":106},"FAQPage",[107,113,117],{"name":108,"@type":109,"acceptedAnswer":110},"Who
