Part of the Florida Edition of the Works of Laurence Sterne series
Hardback
Description
This book is the culmination of more than forty years of research.
These two volumes, the seventh and eighth in the heralded ""Florida Edition of the Works of Laurence Sterne"", offer the first collection of Sterne's letters in seventy-five years.
Thirty new letters have been added, and all have been carefully and precisely reedited, making this the most accurate edition of his letters ever produced.
The correspondence is thoroughly keyed to Sterne's published output, much of which has previously been edited by Melvyn New.
New and coeditor Peter de Voogd also make major use of Arthur Cash's landmark biography of Sterne.
The result is a work that securely establishes the literary as well as biographical significance of Sterne's letters.
Sterne remains one of the towering figures of eighteenth-century life and literature, and a continuing influential presence in the canon of modern western fiction.
Among those who have praised his writings are Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Salman Rushdie, Gabrial Garcia-Marquez, Vladimir Nabokov, Milan Kundera, and most recently, the Turkish Nobel Prize recipient Orhan Pamuk
