As one of the most important writers of 18th century, Tobias George Smollett's The Adventures of Roderick Random made indelible contribution to the development of British realism literature. The Adventures of Roderick Random is one of the proofs as his masterpiece. This autobiographical novel which was adapted according to his own experience has been long studies as a typical vagrant novel by the scholars. While as the one of the early 18th-century British novels of realism, it exposed the reality profoundly, it also had an ironic approach to the social formation of the multi-angle display, and this had a more profound significance of the actual evolution Novels the development.This thesis is divided into three parts in the analysis of how The Adventures of Roderick Random contribute to the development of the 18th-century British realism novel. Through the text analysis of this book, I analyze how the criticism social shows in detail description and the use of writing techniques in the novel. In addition, The Adventures of Roderick Random created the subject of naval novel, and from then on, there is hardly any novel of this subject can overcome the achievement of Random.I explained some of the major terrible of The Adventures of Roderick Random and merciless to the anger about life. With the same period compared to the reality of the novel, about a wide range of social strata, more thoroughly removed the 18th century British social life of the beautiful coat, while inside the dirty, lowly and cruel exposed. The Adventures of Roderick Random, with its broad description of social life, the real, brutal practices and the performance of a strong sense of social criticism, to show us a true picture of British society, to our vision has not read the same impact . This strong sense of social criticism and even for the people of misreading, so he works for the people gradually forget, in the history of literature also did not receive its due status.Random had been to Europe. America and Africa continents, has been to the countries: Scotland, United Kingdom, Jamaica, France, Germany, Guinea, Katajina such as the Central American region, and Paraguay in South America. Such a broad scope, almost the entire Western civilization at the time the picture of the community in the United Kingdom during the same period of realism about the scope of the novel is also little to be more than this book. Britain's first realistic novel "Robinson Crusoe" and heroine have experienced the sea, or even reach the Brazil experience, but really like The Adventures of Roderick Random so meticulous about the community around the customs and habits are indeed a special case . Random posted on the break, "Robinson" and "desert island constraints", "traversed many places", while experiencing the fate of the ups and downs, through his "experience of adversity," readers also made with the British Various social strata, "dealing with" the opportunity.Taking the "terrible and merciless angry" about the start of life, The Adventures of Roderick Random to a large extent the exclusion of false reality, the reality of color make it a more strong, and to become a novel written language drawn from The 18th-century British society of the true picture, so as to next year's British realistic novel example of "Tom Jones " laid a good foundation. The second part describes works interludes of "abusive" and irony. The Adventures of Roderick Random, in the author autobiography, Slovakia at the end of Wright pointed out that "in all kinds of irony, the most fascinating, most people generally can be learned, not too much about a plot everywhere in the lively and interesting story . Interludes into the kind of ironic. "This means the use of satire, making Smollett at the end of Wright as the soldiers in their hands knives, to bravely across the layers of a 18th-century British society beautiful coat, so that their inherent and dirty Decadent completely exposed. This spicy style although some rough, but from the then British novel in the moral teachings of color. Because of this spicy, sharp satire and novels relentlessly to the 18th-century the United Kingdom - this cold-blooded, barbaric society clearly demonstrated. In addition, the this novel in the use of irony, the hero is often the dialogue with others about activities and psychological approach to performance.Characters from the mold, the 18th-century British novel is also a lack of depth, Slovakia at the end of Wright's novel is more people have been criticized as too "rough", which of course is with the author's thoughts and feelings and observations on. Ironically the flexibility in the use of practices so that the novel to avoid the superficial, and to a certain extent, has revealed the dark nature of the society. Author severe acute satire, the novel makes the critical aspects of social reality and fiction than the same period, have made great progress.The third part on the novel, for the Navy's novels created. As a sea of surrounding countries, the United Kingdom "vagrants" want to go out to earn a living, must inevitably follow the sea: event because of the disaster and living on the island, "Robinson", and the world dislike the grid out of the sea adventure Buddha. British novels inevitably to a greater or lesser extent on the sea in the film.However, Tobias George Smollett, before the end of Wright never a novelist so meticulous and real life miserable for the Navy and the brutality of war at sea have such a detailed description. "He started the Navy's life on the British novel in a major branch, and later these writers and very few people over his special "because it is based on personal experience written in the Smollett. Navy Chief Executive of Wright at the end of the ruthless and the tragic lives of sailors who will expose all the more real and profound."The Adventures of Roderick Random the 18th-century realism, the novel is a tremendous contribution to the development, its social realism novels critical of the development, the Navy created the novels, have a far-reaching implications. No matter of the 19th-century European realism novels of the great achievements, or of the Navy's prosperous, we can not ignore the novel in which a unique contribution.It was felt that the reality of the 18th-century British fiction community is like a colorful constellation. Not a single bloom color to bright light, so we see these colorful writers in the constellation of radiation in their glory. Among these Fielding is the most eye-catching, at the end of the Wright has such a unique as the stars. Although Smollett at the end of Wright as dazzling as Fielding, but also by virtue of his unique characteristics, which radiates with the singular light, so as to the 18th century British literary scene of the rich added an indispensable.
