While reading Tom Jones, I'm still struck by the pontificating, commenting, and so on from Fielding. His character development lacks the kind of depth I expect from a realistic novel. I'm trying to keep my thinking in tune with the time it was written, but still find that it's ponderous and slow going to get to the point. Maybe it's just the language of the 18th century that's tripping me up.
Anyone else finding this to be a bit of slog?
