Smelfungus
Smelfungus is a name given by Laurence Sterne to Tobias Smollett as author of a volume of ''Travels through France and Italy,'' for the snarling abuse he heaps on the institutions and customs of the countries he visited.
The term Smelfungus (pl. Smelfungi) thereafter passed into broader use to describe a grumbling traveller, and might even be applied to a faultfinder in general.〔O. M. Brach ed., ''Tobias Smollett, Scotland's First Author'' (2007) p. 76-8〕
==Smollett in Europe==
Smollett's 1764 journey to the Continent took place in the wake of a family bereavement, and while he was in poor health - matters which may explain the sharp tone of many of his comments on people, things and places he saw.〔I. Ousby ed., ''The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English'' (1995) p. 887 and p. 953〕 Thus for example he described the Venus de Medici as having "no beauty in the features" and having an attitude which "is awkward and out of character"〔Quoted in G. Petrie ed., ''Lawrence Sterne: A Sentimental Journey'' (1979) p. 150〕 - prompting Sterne's remark that "he had fallen foul upon the goddess, and used her worse than a common strumpet".〔G. Petrie ed., ''Lawrence Sterne: A Sentimental Journey'' (1979) p. 52〕
Revisionists have argued however that the "Smollett" in the ''Travels'' book is a character Smollett intentionally created, rather than him speaking in his own voice as Sterne (facetiously) implies.〔O. M. Brach ed., ''Tobias Smollett, Scotland's First Author'' (2007) p. 16〕
