Sterne, Laurence

Japanese: スターン（英語表記）Sterne， Laurence

Born: 24 November 1713, Clonmel
[Died] March 18, 1768. London. British novelist. Graduated from Cambridge University and became a priest, but gained instant fame with his novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1760-67). This unconventional novel has no plot and the main character, Tristram, only appears halfway through the work, and was highly praised in the 20th century, stimulating new novelistic techniques. He later published A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy (68), which is based on a continental trip he undertook while recuperating from tuberculosis, as well as a collection of sermons.

イギリスの小説家。ケンブリッジ大学を出て司祭となったが，小説『トリストラム・シャンディ』 The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy，Gentleman (1760～67) によって一躍名声を得た。この作品は筋もなく，主人公らしいトリストラムも作品のなかば近くでやっと登場するという型破りの小説で，20世紀に入って高く評価され，新しい小説技法への刺激となった。その後結核の療養を兼ねて試みた大陸旅行に題材を取る『センチメンタル・ジャーニー』A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy (68) や，説教集などを発表した。
