Erwin Panofsky, discusses the controversy over a

a picture which was once acquired by Queen Mary of
Hungary, amo...

Dorothy Van Ghent And Tristram Shandy Primary Purposes
1,791 words
The uniqueness of Tristram Shandy has pushed
critics to see many different topics as the
central concern of the work. It may even be an
impossible task to pinpoint which of two seemingly
contradictory themes Tristram is pursuing, because
Tristram does not give us much of a beginning,
middle, or end, preferring to stream along in
digressive contentment. However, as Jean-Jacques
Mayoux writes, it may be possible to transcend
subjectivity by seeking coherence. In other words,
