Autorenporträt
Laurence Sterne, born in Clonmel, Ireland, in 1713, grew up in a military family with a life filled with frequent relocations. He attended Jesus College, Cambridge, where he pursued his education with a sizarship. After being ordained as a priest in 1738, Sterne married Elizabeth Lumley in 1741. His early life was marked by poverty, and he spent his youth moving between various family homes. Sterne's ecclesiastical career was initially conventional, but his later years saw a shift toward writing, where his comedic genius came to the forefront. Best known for The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman and A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy, he became a celebrated literary figure. His works were groundbreaking in their playful use of narrative structure and humor. Sterne's life was also intertwined with political satire, although he eventually distanced himself from political writing. His later years were marred by personal and health struggles, yet he continued to enjoy literary fame until his death in 1768. He was buried at St. George's, Hanover Square, London.
