Their journey through England and Scotland allows each character to describe the same people and events from very different perspectives. The novel combines travel writing, social satire and comedy, presenting a colourful picture of British society, health resorts, cities and country life. Its contrasting narrators create much of the humour, while Smollett uses their experiences to comment on manners, class and the rapidly changing world of eighteenth-century Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216361079123,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421092561235,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-expedition-of-humphry-clinker-1955-folio-society-89","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
