Shandean Humour in English and German Literature and Philosophy

By James Vigus

This book investigates how Laurence Sterne's humour functions, the reasons for its enduring appeal, and what role it played in identity-construction. It reveals that Shandean humour is a Grenzganger--a point of commerce between English and German literature and philosophy.
