Adaptations of Laurence Sterne's Fiction: Sterneana, 1760-1840

by Mary-Céline Newbould

Overview

Exploring how readers received and responded to literary works in the long eighteenth century, Newbould focuses on the role played by Laurence Sterne’s fiction and its adaptations. Placing her examination of Sterneana within the context of its production, Newbould breaks new ground by bringing together several potentially disparate aspects of Sterneana belonging to areas of literary studies as diverse as drama, music, travel writing, sentimental fiction and the visual.
