Biography

Laurence Sterne was an Anglo-Irish novelist and Anglican cleric. He is best known for his comic novels The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759–1767) and A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768).

Laurence Sterne balanced his vocation as an Anglican clergyman with a prolific career as a novelist and journalist.

His most famous work, Tristram Shandy, is noted for its innovative style and unconventional narrative structure.

Under the pseudonym Yorick, Sterne explored satire and introspection in his most personal writings.

His travels through France and Italy inspired his acclaimed work A Sentimental Journey, a landmark in travel literature.

Despite his fragile health, Sterne left a legacy of nearly four hundred works ranging from sermons to memoirs.
