Adventures of Peregrine Pickle (Volume II)
'Adventures of Peregrine Pickle (Volume II)' Summary
In the second volume of *The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle*, Peregrine's journey through 18th-century England continues, filled with both humorous and scandalous encounters. He navigates a world of social climbing, love affairs, and financial schemes, often finding himself in precarious situations due to his impetuous nature and penchant for reckless behavior. Through his experiences, Smollett satirizes the aristocracy, exposing their moral hypocrisy and the superficiality of their lives. The inclusion of 'The Memoirs of a Lady of Quality' offers a deeper exploration of societal expectations and the constraints placed upon women, particularly within the context of marriage and social conventions. Frances Vane's narrative provides a unique perspective on love, betrayal, and the pursuit of personal freedom within a society that often dictates the course of one's life.Book Details
