Project Gutenberg 2008-08-03 Public domain in the USA. 525 Hewett-Thayer, Harvey W. (Harvey Waterman) 1873 Hewett-Thayer, Harvey Waterman Laurence Sterne in Germany A Contribution to the Study of the Literary Relations of England and Germany in the Eighteenth Century Produced by Louise Hope, David Starner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Laurence Sterne in Germany" by Harvey W. Hewett-Thayer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the influence and reception of Laurence Sterne's work in Germany, particularly focusing on his novel "Tristram Shandy" and the performance of his literary reputation on the continent. The author delves into how Sterne's unique stylistic approach and philosophical outlook resonated with German readers and writers during a time of significant cross-cultural literary exchange. The opening of this study introduces the context of German literature's indebtedness to English authors, especially during the 18th century when Sterne was active. The narrative elucidates how the admiration for English literary ideals significantly impacted German literature, paving the way for Sterne's eventual recognition in Germany. The text suggests that prior to the publication of "The Sentimental Journey," Sterne was relatively unknown in Germany, and it was through detailed translations and enthusiastic reviews that his works began to gain popularity and appreciation among German intellectual circles. The writer highlights the significant role of cultural exchange during this period as it relates to the broader themes of literature and identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
