Laurence Sterne
an Irish writer whose best-known work is his humorous novel Tristram Shandy, one of the earliest novels in English. His style influenced later writers who used the stream of consciousness method (1713-68). born Nov. 24, 1713, Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ire. died March 18, 1768, London, Eng.

Turning his parishes over to a curate, he began to write Tristram Shandy (1759-67), an experimental novel issued in nine parts in which the story is subordinate to its narrator's free associations and digressions. It is considered one of the most important ancestors of psychological and stream of consciousness fiction.
