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

Book Review: Great Find!
Summary: 5 Stars

Peter Barker is a marvelous reader, and Sterne is a wild man writer.
Something to be savored and smiled at over time. Many times a laugh aloud!
Don't be in a hurry, or you'll miss mosst of the fun.

Summary of 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 identify the 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.
