This revised edition of Sterne's extraordinary comic novel retains the text based on the first editions of the original nine volumes, with Sterne's later changes, adds two illustrations by William Hogarth, and expands and updates theintroduction, bibliography, and notes, to make this the most critically up-to-date edition available. The text of the novel preserves, as far as possible, the appearance of Sterne's idiosyncratic typography and features such as blackpages, marbled pages, blank pages, missing chapters and other devices. The introduction provides an overview of the novel and its place in eighteenth-century literature, a biographical account of the author, the novel's innovations and influence, and attitudes towards readers and writers. Extensive, up-to-datebibliography. Comprehensive notes identify the profusion of references and reveal previously overlooked sources.
