"Every serious student of 18th-century religious thought will need
to come to terms with this edition of Sterne's sermons. . . . The
annotation alone will force scholars to explore again the notion
that 18th-century Anglicanism, and Sterne's Anglicanism in
particular, was devoid of conviction. . . . One of the special
strengths of this edition is the editor's decision to provide ample
quoted material from authors who influenced Sterne's work in these
sermons. . . . Extremely erudite and sensitive."--William Spellman,
University of North Carolina, Asheville This two-volume scholarly
edition of Laurence Sterne's 45 sermons is the first complete
reprinting of the text of the sermons since the Shakespeare Head
edition in 1927 and the first annotated edition ever. The
introduction and notes demonstrate Sterne's method of composing
sermons and indicate, wherever possible, the relationship between
the sermons and Sterne's fiction and other writing. In addition,
the annotation provides numerous connections between the sermons
and Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey. Melvyn New's long
and illuminating introduction outlines the main elements of late
17th- and early 18th-century Anglicanism and explores how this
theological perspective informed Sterne's message in the pulpit.
The work includes four categories of annotations: Sterne's sources,
his theology, his other writings, and his clerical and private
life. As with the Florida edition of Tristram Shandy, this will be
the edition that scholars will need to consult. Ecclesiastical and
intellectual historians, as well as library scholars interested in
the eighteenth century, will find this work of great usefulness.
Melvyn New, professor of English at the University of Florida, has
been writing on Laurence Sterne for more than 25 years. He is
coeditor, with Joan New, of the Florida edition of Tristram Shandy,
volumes 1 and 2: The Text (1978); and coeditor of Tristram Shandy,
volume 3: The Notes (1984). He is the author of Laurence Sterne as
Satirist (UPF, 1969); Telling New Lies: Seven Essays in Fiction,
Past and Present (UPF, 1992); and Tristram Shandy: A Book for Free
Spirits (1994).
