The first full-length and comprehensive study of the illustrations
of Sterne's work, this book explores the ability of Sterne's texts
to inspire the visual imagination. It helps to explain why scores
of editions of his fiction have been illustrated, some profusely:
to fulfill the reader's desire, as well as the artist's compulsion,
to visualize Sterne's words. Gerard places his subject in a clear
and innovative theoretical framework which opens the field to
general word and image studies. The author begins by examining the
distinct varieties of pictorialism in Sterne's texts. The remainder
of the study takes into account three remarkable series of
illustrations-representing Trim reading the sermon, didactic
sentimentalism in A Sentimental Journey and Henry Mackenzie's Man
of Feeling, and the many and diverse portrayals of 'poor Maria' -
to demonstrate the ways in which culture projects these texts
differently through the various artists.
