    About this ebook

    This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. Tristram opens his account of his life and opinions with a sense that it was all over before it was even begun: "I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me." And thus Sterne begins his exploration of the difficulties of creativity - both sexual and literary. In doing so, he pushes the conventions of the early novel to extreme limits.

    Author

    Laurence Sterne

    Irish-born Laurence Sterne was an eighteenth century English author and Anglican clergyman. Though he is perhaps best known as a novelist, Sterne also wrote memoirs, articles on local politics, and a large number of sermons for which he was quite well known during his lifetime. Sterne’s works include The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy, and the satire A Political Romance (also known as The History of a Good Warm Watch-Coat). Sterne died in 1768 at the age of 54.
