[T]rust me, Yorick, When to gratify a private appetite, it is once resolved upon, that an innocent and an helpless creature shall be sacrificed, 'tis an easy matter to pick up sticks enew from any thicket where it has strayed, to make a fire to offer it up with.
--Laurence Sterne, Tristram Shandy. Ed. Howard Anderson. New York: Norton, 1980. 20. #QuoteOfTheDay #Bookstodon #LaurenceSterne

Enfilade - Exhibition | Ignatius Sancho: A Portrait

"The portrait of Sancho is a rare depiction of an African in eighteenth-century Europe shown not as an enslaved person, servant or caricature, but as a gentleman...[H]e became famous for his correspondence with the author Laurence Sterne and for the grocers that he ran in Westminster. He was the first African to receive an obituary in the British press."

‘The motly emblem of my work.’ Colourful marbled page from the first edition of Laurence Sterne’s The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy (1759–67) — these were unique in each copy, representing the element of chance in Sterne’s narrative project. #LaurenceSterne #TristramShandy #books #publishing

"If Sterne has had any one great master in his eye—it was Swift, his countryman—the first wit of this or any other nation;—but there is this grand difference between them—Swift excels in grave-faced irony—whilst Sterne lashes his whips with jolly laughter."

The verdict of #IgnatiusSancho.

Sancho corresponded with #LaurenceSterne from 1766. The publication of the letters after Sterne's death made Sancho famous.

#LaurenceSterne (along with the likes of #IrisMurdoch) disprove the notion there's no such thing as a philosophical novel in English. "Tristram Shandy" plays with the philosophical ideas of Locke.

And more, as the exploration/adaptation of "Tristram Shandy", "A cock and bull story" suggests (1:24) https://youtu.be/wXzuUJZuqUI

Happy birthday to my Diary, #BOTD in 1990 (32 years young). I've only just realised that it shares its birthday with #LaurenceSterne.
