The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
By Laurence Sterne
Edited by Joan New, Edited by Melvyn New
Penguin Classics relaunch.
Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters.
