Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy (1759–67) appears to resist adaptation. Its verbal density, narrative complexity, and self-conscious bookishness mark it out as intensely medium-specific. However, its richly allusive style, scepticism about conventi... Read More about Pouring out of one vessel into another: Originality and Imitation in Two Modern Adaptations of Tristram Shandy.
