In this collection of essays representing fifty years of
scholarship on Laurence Sterne, Melvyn New brings Sterne into
conversation with other authors—both his contemporaries, such as
James Boswell and Samuel Richardson, and modernists, such as Marcel
Proust and James Joyce. New begins by focusing on Sterne’s texts
and their sources, discussing the purposes of his famous borrowings
from past writings, his Anglicanism, and his reliance on John
Norris of Bemerton. This section concludes with an argument for the
removal from Sterne’s canon of “The Unknown World.” New then
offers several readings based on placing diverse texts in
proximity, Charles Dickens’s Dombey and Son alongside the
philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, and Samuel Johnson’s “London”
against T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. The
final section offers several proximate readings of Sterne alongside
his contemporaries, Jonathan Swift, Richardson, and Boswell, and
modernist authors and texts—Proust, Bruno Schulz, Virginia
Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, and Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as
a Young Man. As he brings these varied authors together, New
suggests that literary greatness inheres in the uncertainties and
mysteries—in the words of Keats—of works proven capable of
attracting thoughtful attention over varying times and wide spaces.
He encourages the continued teaching of these challenging texts in
the future of literary studies.
