The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy was written by Laurence
Sterne from 1759 to 1767. As the plot meanders from one topic to
another, the novel satirizes the rigid morality of Sterne’s time. On
another level, it debunks contemporary literary conventions of violent
adventures, structured plots and strict morality—hallmarks of such
writers as Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding.
