Synopsis "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (Oxford World's Classics) "

At once endlessly facetious and highly serious, Sterne's great comic novel contains some of the best-known and best-loved characters in English literature--including Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Parson Yorick, and Dr. Slop--and boasts one of the most innovative and whimsical narrative styles in all literature. This revised edition of Sterne's extraordinary novel retains the text based on the first editions of the original nine volumes (with Sterne's later changes), adds two illustrations by William Hogarth, and expands and updates the introduction, bibliography, and notes, to make this the most critically up-to-date edition available. The text of the novel preserves, as far as possible, the appearance of Sterne's idiosyncratic typography and features such as black pages, marbled pages, blank pages, missing chapters and other devices. The introduction sheds light on the novel's innovations and influence and provides a biographical account of the author. Comprehensive notes identifythe profusion of references and reveal previously overlooked sources. The book will appear in time for the 250th anniversary of the publication of first two volumes. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

View Author's Page
Laurence Sterne (1713–1768) was an Anglo-Irish novelist and clergyman, famous for his innovative style and sharp sense of humor. He was born in Clonmel, Ireland, and studied at the University of Cambridge. Ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church, he spent much of his life as a vicar in Yorkshire. However, his true fame came with the publication of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759–1767), a revolutionary novel that broke with the narrative conventions of his time.

Tristram Shandy stood out for its fragmented structure, constant digressions, typographical play, and satirical tone, influenced by authors like Rabelais and Cervantes. The work caused a sensation in England and Europe, making Sterne a literary figure of great renown. Later he published A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768), based on his travels through Europe, especially during his stay in France.

Sterne struggled for years with health issues, particularly tuberculosis, a disease that eventually led to his death in London. His literary legacy has deeply influenced modern and postmodern authors, and he is considered one of the forerunners of the experimental novel. His ironic and personal style continues to be the subject of study and admiration.
