EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Laurence Sterne, an influential figure in 18th century English literature and Anglican clergy. The image, taken in 1913 as a supplement to The Bookman, showcases Sterne's distinguished appearance with his iconic wig and clerical attire. Sterne was not only known for his religious vocation but also for his remarkable talent as a novelist. As one of England's most celebrated writers, he left an indelible mark on the literary landscape with works such as "Tristram Shandy" and "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy". His unique writing style blended humor, satire, and sentimentality, making him a pioneer of experimental fiction during his time. In this portrait by Thomas Gainsborough, another prominent artist of the era, Sterne exudes intelligence and charisma. His piercing gaze seems to reflect both wisdom gained through years of spiritual devotion and creativity nurtured by a deep understanding of human nature. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of Sterne's profound impact on British society during the Enlightenment period. His writings challenged conventional norms while exploring themes related to religion, morality, love, and social customs. This photograph serves as a testament to Laurence Sterne's lasting legacy as both an esteemed clergyman within the Church of England and an innovative writer who pushed boundaries in literature. It is through images like these that we can connect with the past and appreciate the contributions made by extraordinary
