It was attended by some eighty scholars from fourteen countries; the conference heard more than sixty papers. The organizers invited participants to submit revised versions of their contributions for this volume, and the thirteen selected exhibit, it is hoped, the defining features both of the conference and of Sterne studies at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is worth remarking that the selected authors represent seven countries; that Sterne may well be the most internationally accepted of all eighteenth-century English authors is certainly a claim worthy of a sentimental traveler.  This collection recognizes three faces of Sterne, beginning with several biographical essays examining, respectively, his celebrity status, family life, politics, and philosophy. The second face is that of Tristram, studied from vantage points provided by ethics, linguistics, gender studies, and comparative literature. The final group of essays examines the face of Yorick as the protagonist of A Sentimental Journey, beginning with an ethnographic study of relationships, moving through questions of identity, and concluding with the possible future of literary studies—a return to aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection epitomizes not just the state of Sterne scholarship but of literary scholarship in our critical moment. What comes forth is not simply a group of essays that add texture and dimension to an artist and corpus of work growing in stature, but also is an exemplar of how eighteenth-century studies is broadening our understanding of history, art and aesthetics, philosophy, gender studies, and social sciences. * New Perspectives on the Eighteenth Century *\u003cbr\u003eSterne, Tristram, Yorick honours Sterne’s legacy, both literary and cultural, and offers a valuable snapshot of Sterne studies today. * Eighteenth-Century Fiction *\u003cbr\u003e[T]he reader of this volume can conclude that Sterne studies are much more healthy and robust than their object of study ever was. Three hundred years after his birth, he retains his capacity to fascinate readers, compelling serious engagement and inspiring laughter, providing a node around which readers organise their mental, social, ethical, and, in many cases, professional lives. * The Shandean *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Short Titles Introduction Pat Rogers  Sterne 1.
