The Expedition of Humphry Clinker was the last of the picaresque novels of Tobias Smollett, published in London on 17 June 1771 (three months before Smollett's death), and is considered by many to be his best and funniest work. It is an epistolary novel, presented in the form of letters written by six characters: Matthew Bramble, a Welsh Squire; his sister Tabitha; their niece Lydia and nephew Jeremy Melford; Tabitha's maid Winifred Jenkins; and Lydia's suitor Wilson. The author's travels in Scotland, France, and Italy influenced his novel.

  • The Expedition of Humphry Clinker, of kortweg Humphry Clinker, is een briefroman van Tobias Smollett, voor het eerst gepubliceerd in 1771. Het werk is een satirische schelmenroman en werd slechts drie maanden vóór Smolletts dood uitgegeven. (nl)
  • L’Expédition de Humphry Clinker, publié à Londres le 17 juin 1771, est un roman épistolaire et picaresque de Tobias Smollett. Considéré par beaucoup comme, de loin, la plus drôle et la meilleure œuvre de Smollett, l’Expédition de Humphry Clinker est le dernier de ses romans picaresques. Il consiste en lettres écrites par cinq personnages différents. La majeure partie de l’intrigue résulte des différences dans les descriptions des mêmes événements par les différents participants.
