Description: 'The History of Jack Connor' is the only, and once very popular, novel of the Irish writer of Huguenot descent, William Chaigneau. An example of sentimental picaresque fiction in the manner of Alain-Rene Lesage's 'Gil Blas' and Tobias Smollett's 'Roderick Random', the work also reveals Chaigneau's admiration for Henry Fielding's then-controversial 'Tom Jones'.
