- catalog abstract ""Laurence Sterne was in his mid-forties when the publication of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman catapulted him from obscurity to literary fame. The extraordinary story of how a provincial clergyman became the most fashionable writer of his day is all the more remarkable for having been engineered by its self-publicizing subject. 'I wrote', Laurence Sterne declared, 'not to be fed, but to be famous'. Two bestselling volumes of sermons followed, paradoxically attracting as much moral censure as his comic novel had commanded admiration. Shocked critics denounced him as a scandal to the cloth but Sterne stood firm revelling in the fame and wealth his age's obsession with novelty and fashion allowed him."--Jacket.".
