The Works of Laurence Sterne, in One Volume: with a Life of the Author by Laurence Sterne published in 1834.
With the great work of Sterne The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, constituting the majority of this volume, we see the beauty and genius of Sterne's artistic ability. Many have claimed this novel to be the precursor to the stream of consciousness novels that proliferated in the 20th century and even the encyclopedic novels of the 21st century. Sterne is still ahead of his time and here is a cool 19th-century copy.
This edition features advertisements for other books at the beginning of the volume, a fun feature in itself. And many of the characteristic Shandian typography.
Full calfskin leather binding. Spine black due to wear, overall in pretty good condition although binding is beginning to loosen along with the hinges; foxing overall. The corners are rubbed and the back cover is beginning to peel, which is fairly common with books this old.
