Hilarion's Asse: Laurence Sterne and Humour Sous la direction de Anne Bandry-Scubbi & Peter de Voogd Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013, EAN 9781443842310 155p. Prix : £39.99 Présentation de l'éditeur : The humour of Tristram Shandy has often been acknowledged, but it is not easy to find scholarly articles on Laurence Sterne which suggest that their authors laughed as they wrote. Nine authors have been invited to redress this in the year of the tercentenary of Sterne’s birth. This volume offers nine different facets of humour, a kaleidoscope which enables readers to recombine at will the genial, the bawdy, the sentimental, the ludicrous, the hobby-horsical, the philosophical, the irreverent, the incongruous and the facetious, sending the text spiralling out of the page.
