The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
The comic masterpiece Tristram Shandy is often regarded as a progenitor of the twentieth century novel. Within the resolutely tangled strands of this narrative is the life, from conception, of a gentleman cursed at birth with the name Tristram. Though everything occurs between parlor and garden, Tristram's excitable father, bewildered mother, and Uncle Toby provide ample opportunity for the digressions and madcap events that structure this seminal novel.

‘The excellent Florida Tristram Shandy … will be the definitive edition’ 
Studies in English Literature

‘The book that I would never tire of … Sterne was about 250 years ahead of his time’ 
Roy Porter
