Introduction and Notes by Robert Folkenflik
Rich in playful double entendres, digressions, formal oddities,
and typographical experiments, "The Life and Opinions of Tristram
Shandy, Gentleman "provoked a literary sensation when it first
appeared in England in a series of volumes from 1759 to 1767. An
ingeniously structured novel (about writing a novel) that
fascinates like a verbal game of chess, "Tristram Shandy "is the
most protean and playful English novel of the eighteenth century
and a celebration of the art of fiction; its inventiveness
anticipates the work of Joyce, Rushdie, and Fuentes in our own
century. This Modern Library Paperback is set from the nine-volume
first edition from 1759.
