Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works and Life of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 6 Montreuil much resembling Sterne's Maria, and afterwards took a public house at Calais. The dead donkey, the heart-broken Maria, the grisette at the glove-shop, the fille de chambre, so pretty and petite, are all declared to be no invention of Yorick's. Doubtless this is so, but the details that Scott gave cannot be true. Scott found them in a miscellany of anecdotes called An Olio by William Davis, the bib liographer. Davis, we are asked to believe, met La Fleur at Calais and received direct from him the story of the valet and his master. The bibliographer must have been imposed upon by a smart lackey who knew how to play himself Off on credulous Eng lishmen.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 Sterne was among the first of our men of letters to be exploited by the press. The public, naturally enough we should think nowadays, was very curious to know what manner of man was that who had written a book quite unlike any other they had ever read - how he lived, how he looked, and what he said; and information was forthcoming from the hacks of literature who very likely had never seen him. There was, for example, - to mention again what has been described and printed in another place - that first strange notice from the pen of Dr. John Hill, a notorious London quack-doctor, who must have interviewed Sterne's friends in town for anecdotes half-fact and half-fiction. And after his death Sterne became the theme of more imaginary biography in a larger style. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
