Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of Laurence Sterne: With a Life of the Author Thus did sterne live, a local celebrity, till he was forty-six years Of age. This is noteworthy. Like Cowper, he was late of beginning to write for the public - that is, for fame. He wrote for fame, and found it. Before 1759, the year in which the first two volumes Of Tristram Shandy were published, sterne had printed only two sermons. He had written a. Good deal, it is true; but now, 'tired of employing his brains for other people's advantage, ' he took to his pen for his own. Accused of writing upon Iago's advice, 'put money in thy purse, ' or, as it was pedanti cally expressed, nummum in locale, he replied that he wrote, not to be fed, but to be famous. He gained what he wrote for.' He stalked into renown on his 'hobby-horse' - a compound he rendered classical in Tristram Shandy. He wanted money too - all men who write do. He mentions having taken a small house in York at the time for the education of his daughter; and this requires money. Sterne was lucky enough to encounter both praise and pudding.

Download or read book Laurence Sterne Classic Reprint written by H. D. Traill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laurence Sterne The materials for a biography of Sterne are by no means abundant. Of the earlier years of his life the only exist ing record is that preserved in the brief autobiographical memoir which, a few months before his death, be com posed, in the usual quaint staccato style of his familiar cer respondence, for the benefit Of his daughter. Of his child hood; of his school-days; of his life at Cambridge, and in his Yorkshire Vicarage; of his whole history, in fact, up to the age of forty-six, we know nothing more than he has there jetted down. He attained that age in the year 1750; and at this date begins that series of his Letters, from which, for those who have the patience to sort them out of the chronological confusion in which his daughter and editress involved them, there is, no doubt, a good deal to be learnt. These letters, however, which extend down to 1768, the year of the writer's death, contain pretty nearly all the contemporary material that we have to depend on. Freely as Sterne mixed in the best literary society, there is singularly little to be gathered about him, even in the way of chance allusion and anecdote, from the memoirs and am of his time. Of the many friends who would have been competent to write his biography while the facts were yet fresh, but one, John Wilkes, ever entertained - if he did seriously entertain - the idea of performing this pious work; and he, in spite of the entreaties of Sterne's widow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 I have been obliged, however, to modify the too favourable opinion I entertained of Sterne's life and character, and am constrained to admit that Mr. Thackeray's view - harsh as it may seem had much to support it. Yorick's Journal, which I have read through carefully, is fatally damaging; exhibiting a repulsive combination of Pharisaical utterances and lax principle. This would seem to show that Mr. Sterne was something more than the mere philanderer he described himself to be. Mr. Elwin was long ago constrained to adopt the safne view. Indeed, it may be always fairly presumed that licentious writing is almost certain to, be followed by life and practice as licentious.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 of 2 It is astonishing that a man of letters so eminent as Laurence Sterne should have had to wait nearly a hundred years for a biographer. John Wilkes and John Hall-Stevenson, when their friend died, announced their intention to write his life, but, in spite of his daughter's frequent reminders, they never even began the task. It was not until the eve of the centenary of his death that the "Life of Sterne," by Mr. Percy Fitzgerald, appeared; and this work remained in sole possession of the field for several decades. "It contains," Mr. Traill wrote of it in his monograph on Sterne, contributed in 1882 to the "English Men of Letters" series, "nearly all the information as to the facts of Sterne's life that is now ever likely to be recovered." This statement, happily, was soon falsified by the discovery of numerous letters and other material, which Mr. Fitzgerald incorporated in the 1896 edition of his work; and once again critics declared that now the sources of information were all disclosed.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works and Life of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 "I have long been a sentimental Being," said Sterne the year before his death, "***The world has imagined because I wrote Tristram Shandy that I was myself more Shandean than I really ever was." It may well be that we do not come quite to the real Sterne when we regard him as he asks us to regard him in Tristram Shandy, - as the king's jester. This view was taken by an anonymous critic of his own time, who averred that "the highest excellence of this genuine, this legitimate son of humour, lies not in his humorous but in his pathetic vein." The same opinion was held by Emile Montegut, who, among the many Frenchmen that have written of Sterne, is the gayest and subtlest of them all.
