Abstract

The main goal of the present study is to show how contemporary drama and theatre had an influence on the structures of Laurence Sterne's novel Tristram Shandy. This does not necessarily imply that the novel is a dramatic text in itself. However, it is reminiscent of the theatre of the period under discussion in various ways.
