Essays on Laurence Sterne and His Times in Honor of Melvyn New
Hardback
Publication Date: 07/04/2011
These thirteen essays have been collected to honor Melvyn New, professor emeritus (Florida), and are prefaced by a description of his scholarly career of more than forty years. Suggesting the wide range of that career, the first eight essays offer various critical perspectives on a diverse group of eighteenth-century authors. These include a reading of Eliot in the shadow of Pope; a comparison of Gainsborough's final paintings and Sterne's Sentimental Journey; a study of Johnson and casuistry; a discussion of Smollett's view of slavery in Roderick Random; a bibliographical study of a Lyttelton poem; a comparison of Swift and Nietzsche; and two essays about Fielding's Joseph Andrews. Laurence Sterne, the primary focus of Professor New's scholarship, is also the focus of the final five essays, which treat Sterne in contexts as disparate as the kabbalah, abolitionist discourse, local English church politics, the use of the fragment, and, finally, the culture of modernity.
