Thomas Keymer is a 2011 Fellow of The Royal Society of Canada. The author of Tristram Shandy (1759-67) is often seen as an anachronism - a belated exponent of learned-wit satire whose kinship is with Montaigne, or a proto-modernist whose narrative pyrotechnics anticipate Joyce. Yet to many contemporaries Sterne''s writing was emphatically of its immediate time, a voguish compound of all things modern that seemed to typify, if not indeed constitute, a ''Shandy-Age''.In this historicizing study, Thomas Keymer demonstrates the self-conscious imbrication of Tristram Shandy in the diverse literary culture of its extended moment. Not only absorbing but also updating Swift''s Tale of a Tub, Sterne''s text turns the satirical resources of Scriblerian writing on thepost-Scriblerian literary marketplace, and above all on that quintessentially modern genre, the novel itself. For all its anticipation of later trends, his play on narrative representation, linguistic indeterminacy, the unruliness of reading and the materiality of text turns out to be firmlygrounded in the conventions and tropes of mid-eighteenth-century fiction. Through the mechanisms of improvisatory serialization, Sterne could also engage with other new texts and trends as they continued to emerge, including ''Nonsense Club'' satire, the Ossianic vogue, and debates about the SevenYears War. | Sterne the Moderns and the Novel by Thomas Keymer Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Literary Criticism > Criticism & Theory P10106, Thomas Keymer<
