IN this lively biography of Laurence Sterne, the sentimental and “naughty" parson who took London by storm with his Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey, the author has preserved wherever possible Sterne’s own words, and where these were not available, he has given a jaunty and witty facsimile thereof in English which would have pleased the Yorkshire parson. Parson Sterne, saddled with a neurotic and unattractive wife, set out not only on a career of literature but also on a, career of epistolary affairs and dallying romances. This is a sprightly biography of a great author who was also somewhat of a jackanapes.
