Book Description
Laurence Sterne's 'The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman' is a groundbreaking novel that challenges traditional narrative structures. Written in a unique style that includes digressions, metafictional elements, and quirky characters, the book presents the life story of Tristram Shandy in a non-linear and fragmented manner. This experimental literary approach breaks away from the conventions of 18th-century storytelling, making it a truly innovative work in the history of literature. Sterne's use of humor and wit adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, inviting readers to engage with the text on multiple levels. The novel's exploration of time, identity, and the nature of storytelling makes it a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating read. Laurence Sterne, a clergyman and writer, drew inspiration from his own life experiences and philosophical musings to create this unconventional and thought-provoking work. His background in theology and literature influenced his unique storytelling style, blending intellectual depth with satirical humor. 'The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman' is a must-read for anyone interested in experimental literature, metafiction, and 18th-century storytelling. It offers a fresh perspective on the art of storytelling and challenges readers to think outside the box.

Adaptations of Laurence Sterne's Fiction
Author: Mary-Celine NewbouldPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317185498
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Exploring how readers received and responded to literary works in the long eighteenth century, M-C. Newbould focuses on the role played by Laurence Sterne’s fiction and its adaptations. Literary adaptation flourished throughout the eighteenth century, encouraging an interactive relationship between writers, readers, and artists when well-known works were transformed into new forms across a variety of media. Laurence Sterne offers a particularly dynamic subject: the immense interest provoked by The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman and A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy inspired an unrivalled number and range of adaptations from their initial publication onwards. In placing her examination of Sterneana within the context of its production, Newbould demonstrates how literary adaptation operates across generic and formal boundaries. She breaks new ground by bringing together several potentially disparate aspects of Sterneana belonging to areas of literary studies that include drama, music, travel writing, sentimental fiction and the visual. Her study is a vital resource for Sterne scholars and for readers generally interested in cultural productivity in this period.
