Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works and Life of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 "I have long been a sentimental Being," said Sterne the year before his death, "***The world has imagined because I wrote Tristram Shandy that I was myself more Shandean than I really ever was." It may well be that we do not come quite to the real Sterne when we regard him as he asks us to regard him in Tristram Shandy, - as the king´s jester. This view was taken by an anonymous critic of his own time, who averred that "the highest excellence of this genuine, this legitimate son of humour, lies not in his humorous but in his pathetic vein." The same opinion was held by Emile Montégut, who, among the many Frenchmen that have written of Sterne, is the gayest and subtlest of them all.
