The book is based on an exhaustive search for original documents, and a study of the social, political, and ecclesiastical institutions which shaped Sterne’s world. We see the novelist as a soldier’s child, student, struggling young cleric, Yorkshire famer, and judge of the spiritual courts, and we trace his literary development from political hack to humourist. The story begins – like Tristram’s – with the subject’s conception and ends with the publication of Volumes I and II of \u003ci\u003eTristram Shandy\u003c\/i\u003e. This book will be of interest to students of literature, literary history as well as to any casual reader of Sterne’s novels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247620673880,"sku":"9781032379487","price":137.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032379487_c508f110-4c63-46a3-b242-04e3ee209aff.jpg?v=1769089546","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/laurence-sterne-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
