Laurence Sterne

Traditionally, Laurence Sterne's writing is discussed either in relation to the modern fiction that it anticipates or in the context of its Renaissance and early-eighteenth-century antecedents. Focusing primarily on the nine years of his literary career, Parnell shows how Sterne's fiction is illuminated by the contemporary cultural conditions and preoccupations that enabled its extraordinary success and helped shape its concerns.Dutton, Richard is the author of 'Laurence Sterne ' with ISBN 9780333739365 and ISBN 0333739361.
