About this book
Laurence Sterne in Germany, by Harvey W. Hewett-Thayer, is a contribution to the study of the literary relations of England and Germany in the Eighteenth Century. A note says the task is to write, in detail and from the sources, the history of Sterne’s vogue in Germany, and that, as thus broadly defined, the task had not before been attempted.
A note says the comparative inferiority of the German novel is discussed by l’Abbé Dénina in La Prusse Littéraire sous Frédéric II, Berlin, 1791. The text says Scherer, in his History of German Literature, asserts that these letters are written in imitation of Sterne, but it is difficult to see the occasion for such a statement. The text also says Goethe’s accounts of his own travels are quite free from the Sterne flavor.
