Laurence Sterne and the Visual Imagination
«’...excellent book... Well-illustrated (47 full-page plates), with a useful fifty-page catalogue of visual representations between 1760 and 2005, a bibliography and index, this is a study which should be of interest to anyone interested in reception studies and the impact of book illustration... [Gerard] is to be commended for having travelled far and wide to inspect hundreds of editions on-site in libraries and private collections, and to have scoured rather unusual sources... a very useful and well-written groundbreaking study.’ Sharp ’... an invaluable source book of material and stimulating argument for subsequent students of this field.’ Journal of the Printing Historical Society ’Mr. Gerard deserves praise for assembling and systematically analysing the illustrations of Sterne’s novels. The instructive catalogue of illustrations of Sterne’s works from 1760 to 2005 is a highly welcome reference source. Mr. Gerard’s highly readable good is recommended for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of Sterne’s works and the representation of sentimentalism.’ The Scriblerian»
A comprehensive study of the illustrations of Sterne's work, this book explores the ability of Sterne's texts to inspire the visual imagination. It helps to explain why scores of editions of his fiction have been illustrated, some profusely: to fulfill the reader's desire, as well as the artist's compulsion, to visualize Sterne's words.
