Newbegins by focusing on Sterne's texts and their sources, discussing the purposesof his famous borrowings from past writings, his Anglicanism, and his relianceon John Norris of Bemerton. This section concludes with an argument for theremoval from Sterne's canon of ?The Unknown World.? New then offers severalreadings based on placing diverse texts in proximity: Charles Dickens's Dombeyand Son alongside the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, and Samuel Johnson's ?London?against T. S. Eliot's ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.? Thefinal section offers several proximate readings of Sterne alongside hiscontemporaries, Jonathan Swift, Richardson, and Boswell, and modernist authors andtexts?Proust, Bruno Schulz, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, and Joyce's APortrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
As he brings these varied authors together, Newsuggests that literary greatness inheres in the uncertainties and mysteries?inthe words of Keats?of works proven capable of attracting thoughtful attention overvarying times and wide spaces. He encourages the continued teaching of thesechallenging texts in the future of literary studies.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
