  1. Shandean humour in English and German literature and philosophy

    London : Legenda, 2013.

    One of many writers inspired by Laurence Sternes Tristram Shandy, the German novelist Jean Paul Richter coined the term Shandean humour in his work of aesthetic theory. The essays in this volume investigate how Sternes humour functions, the reasons for its enduring appeal, and what role it played in identity-construction and in the representation of melancholy. In tracing its hitherto under-recognised impact both on literary writers, such as Jean Paul and Herman Melville, and on philosophers, including Hegel and Marx, the collection reveals that Shandean humour is a Grenzganger - a point of commerce not only between Anglophone and German discourses, but also between literature and philosophy.

Wheeler is Reader in English Literature at the University of Cambridge.
