| A contemporary set of this classic work mainly first edition publications in nine volumes. "Although dismissed by contemporary English critics, including Samuel Johnson, Sterne's highly idiosyncratic novel was embraced by European writers and thinkers of the time, and proved to be a hugely influential text. The novel is now commonly regarded as one of the most significant works in the Western literary canon." |
