Reviews

W.B. Gerard's introduction offers a graceful history of the sermons' critical reception, establishing the well-known terrain to be covered in this collection. Eighteenth-Century Fiction The edition has inspired further scholarship on the sermons both by making well-edited versions of the texts accessible and by advancing a forthright argument with which critics can engage. Divine Rhetoric is a significant addition to the new stream of interest in Sterne's sermons... The essay provides an interesting model of how the sermons might be productively read alongside Sterne's fiction - which is also, of course, larded with scenes, images and metaphors involving war - but not through the fiction... The editor should be praised for putting together a rewarding collection - one which may suggest new avenues of exploration, particularly concerning Sterne's rhetoric, to those who may wonder, in the wake of the Florida edition, how and why we should read Sterne's sermons.
