- More about The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
A COCK and a BULL is a great novel by Laurence Sterne that defies categorization, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first postmodern novel. It interweaves the birth and life of Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters. It is a joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction and a wry demonstration of its limitations.

"L-d! said my mother,what is all this story about? - A COCK and a BULL,said Yorick - And one of the best of its kind,I ever heard"
One of the greatest novels ever written, now in a wonderful new clothbound edition, Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humor and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first postmodern novel. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate hero Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters, including Dr. Slop, Corporal Trim, and the parson Yorick. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, Tristram Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.
The text and notes of this volume are based on the acclaimed Florida Edition, with a critical introduction by Melvyn New and Christopher Ricks's introductory essay from the first Penguin Classics edition.
