About the book

Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is one of the most inventive novels of the eighteenth century. Rather than telling its story straightforwardly, the narrator repeatedly digresses, interrupts himself and experiments with typography and structure. Comic, eccentric and self-aware, the novel anticipates many techniques associated with modern fiction.
