Summary: "Sterne" by H. D. Traill is a biography written in the late 19th century, focusing on the life of the influential English writer Laurence Sterne. The book explores Sterne's early years, his literary development, and the context from which he emerged, particularly emphasizing the scant materials available for fully understanding his life and character. This biography is likely to appeal to readers interested in literary history, particularly the development of English literature in the 18th century. At the start of "Sterne," the author outlines the limited biographical information regarding Laurence Sterne's early life, detailing his birth in Clonmel in 1713 to a military family. Traill introduces the peripatetic nature of Sterne's upbringing, shaped by the struggles and misfortunes faced by his parents amidst constant relocations due to military postings. The narrative highlights the humorous and tragic elements of Sterne's early experiences that may have influenced his later works, emphasizing the complex relationship he had with his father and the impact of his mother's resilience. This opening establishes a foundation for understanding the significant yet often overlooked early influences on one of literature's whimsical and innovative figures.
