The Expedition of Humphry Clinker is a public-domain classic available free through FluttX Discover. "The Expedition of Humphry Clinker" by Tobias Smollett is an epistolary novel published in 1771. Six correspondents—including a gouty Welsh squire, his husband-hunting sister, and their servants—chronicle a journey through England and Scotland's fashionable spa towns and resorts. Through wildly contrasting letters describing the same events, Smollett satirizes eighteenth-century British society, class pretensions, and urban life. The mysterious ostler Humphry Clinker joins their travels, bringing comic misadventures, romantic entanglements, and surprising revelations that transform the expedition.
