THE LIFE AND OPINIONS OF
TRISTRAM SHANDY
GENTLEMAN
by
LAURENCE STERNE
Complete in Two Volumes
1800
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (or, more briefly, Tristram Shandy) by Laurence Sterne. It was originally published in nine volumes, the first two appearing in 1759, and seven others following over the next 10 years. It was not always held in high esteem by other writers (Samuel Johnson responded that, "Nothing odd can last"), but its bawdy humour was popular with London society, and it has come to be seen as one of the greatest comic novels in English, as well as a forerunner for many modern narrative devices.
The book was adapted on film in 2006 as A Cock and Bull Story, directed by Michael Winterbottom, written by Frank Cottrell Boyce (credited as Martin Hardy, in a complicated metafictional twist), and starring Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Keeley Hawes, Kelly Macdonald, Naomie Harris, and Gillian Anderson. The movie plays with metatextual levels, being a movie pretending to be a documentary about a movie adaptation of the book, with various actors playing fictionalized versions of themselves
