The novel, The Vicar of Wakefield, was Goldsmith’s most famous work. The Vicar of Wakefield, subtitled A Tale, Supposed to be written by Himself, is a 1766 novel by Anglo-Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774). It was written from 1761 to 1762 and published in 1766. It was one of the most popular and widely read 18th-century novels among the British citizenry.

Oliver Goldsmith (10 November 1728 – 4 April 1774) was an Anglo-Irish writer best known for his works such as The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), The Good-Natur’d Man (1768), The Deserted Village (1770) and She Stoops to Conquer (1771). He is thought by some to have written the classic children’s tale The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes (1765).
