Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Political Romance The first edition of A Political Romance (1759), reprinted here for the first time, is a rare pamphlet from the pen of Laurence Sterne. Indeed, it was supposed until recently that this specimen of Sterne´s humor, antedating Tristram Shandy, existed in no other form than the one given it the year after Sterne´s death in an edition brought out by a London bookseller named Murdoch, with the assistance perhaps of John Hall-Stevenson, the author´s intimate friend. The title-page of that edition runs: - "A Political Romance, Addressed to - Esq. of York. London Printed and fold by J. Murdoch, bookseller, opposite the New Exchange Coffee-house in the Strand. MDCCLXIX." It is a duodecimo volume, havingan "Advertisement" (pp. iv-ix) and a list of the characters in the allegory with their real names opposite (p. x). The Romance itself covers forty-seven pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
