Willard Sterne Randall's biography Alexander Hamilton: A Life, gives some details about Major John Andre in reference to some time before his capture ( as Hamilton's wife had an interest in André prior to her marriage ) and his execution.

Sterne continued his comic novel, but every sentence, he said, was “ written under the greatest heaviness of heart .” In this mood, he softened the satire and recounted details of Tristram's opinions, eccentric family and ill-fated childhood with a sympathetic humour, sometimes hilarious, sometimes sweetly melancholic — a comedy skirting tragedy.

The stone tablet above its doorway states that Sterne wrote Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey at Shandy Hall.

It was immortalised both on record and on a film that played in US theatres for a week in 1964 as well as being the subject of books written by cast members William Redfield and Richard L. Sterne.

Laurence Sterne ( 24 November 1713 – 18 March 1768 ) was an Anglo-Irish novelist and an Anglican clergyman.

Laurence Sterne was born 24 November 1713 in Clonmel, County Tipperary.

His father, Roger Sterne, was an Ensign in a British regiment recently returned from Dunkirk.

Roger's regiment was disbanded on the day of Sterne ’ s birth, and within six months the family had returned to Yorkshire in northern England.

The first decade of Sterne ’ s life was spent moving from place to place as his father was reassigned throughout Ireland.

In 1724, his father took Sterne to Roger's wealthy brother, Richard, so that Sterne could attend Hipperholme Grammar School near Halifax ; Sterne never saw his father again as Roger was ordered to Jamaica where he died of a fever in 1731.

Sterne was admitted to a sizarship at Jesus College, Cambridge, in July 1733 at the age of 20.

Sterne seems to have been destined to become a clergyman, and was ordained as a deacon in March 1737 and as a priest in August, 1738.

Shortly thereafter Sterne was awarded the vicarship living of Sutton-on-the-Forest in Yorkshire ( 1713 – 1768 ).

Sterne ’ s life at this time was closely tied with his uncle, Dr. Jaques Sterne, the Archdeacon of Cleveland and Precentor of York Minster.

Sterne ’ s uncle was an ardent Whig, and urged Sterne to begin a career of political journalism which resulted in some scandal for Sterne and, eventually, a terminal falling-out between the two men.

Jaques Sterne was a powerful clergyman but a mean-tempered man and a rabid politician.

It was while living in the countryside, having failed in his attempts to supplement his income as a farmer and struggling with tuberculosis, that Sterne began work on his most famous novel, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, the first volumes of which were published in 1759.

Sterne was at work on his celebrated comic novel during the year that his mother died, his wife was seriously ill, and he was ill himself with consumption.

Sterne was lucky to attach himself to a diplomatic party bound for Turin, as England and France were still adversaries in the Seven Years ' War.

Translations of the work began to appear in all the major European languages almost upon its publication, and Sterne influenced European writers as diverse as Diderot and the German Romanticists.

Most notably, they develop the British radical-democratic models of Wollstonecraft, Godwin, and Holcroft and combine these with elements of German " Schauer-romantik " gothic from Friedrich Schiller, the enlightened sentimental fictions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Laurence Sterne, women's domestic novels by writers such as Fanny Burney or Hannah Webster Foster, and other genres such as captivity narrative.

Englishman Gary Sterne rediscovered the site after finding a German map, and has purchased some of the site and turned it into a museum with over 2 miles of original German trenches and bunkers.

His main inspiration was German poetry ( Klopstock ), but British writers like Edward Young and Sterne, as well as Rousseau, are obvious inspirations as well.

Other artbooks that include some of Sadamoto's works are Die Sterne ( German for " The Stars ") and Groundwork of FLCL.

Ingenohl: vier Sterne auf blauem Grund ; eine Neuwieder Familie, ein Admiral und mehr ... ( in German ).

His great-grandfather Richard Sterne had been the Master of the college as well as the Archbishop of York.

Sterne lived in Sutton for twenty years, during which time he kept up an intimacy which had begun at Cambridge with John Hall-Stevenson, a witty and accomplished bon vivant, owner of Skelton Hall in the Cleveland district of Yorkshire.

Sterne was gratified by his reception in France where reports of the genius of Tristram Shandy had made him a celebrity.

Benton Harbor was founded by Henry C. Morton, Sterne Brunson and Charles Hull, who all now have or have had schools named after them.

The sentimental key in which the book is written shows the author's acquaintance with Sterne and Richardson, but he had neither the humour of Sterne nor the subtle insight into character of Richardson.

They had two daughters, Linda ( now Linda Sterne ) and Sandra ( who predeceased her mother ).

He had to borrow money to for the charges of his consecration, first-fruits, and his journey and settlement in his diocese ; and the ruined state of his palace involved him in building, and in litigation about dilapidations with his predecessor and metropolitan, Sterne.

This is not entirely accurate, for two ( of the nine ) volumes of Tristram Shandy had already been published in 1759 before Sterne moved to Coxwold.

In 1833, in the living room of the Adolphus Sterne House in Nacogdoches, Houston had been baptized into the Catholic faith in order to qualify under the existing law for property ownership in Coahuila y Tejas.

Margaret bought the Root house in 1864 from Major Eber Cave, a family friend from Nacogdoches who had married the daughter of Sam Houston's friend Adolphus Sterne.

He directed the production of a vast work on Social England in 1893-1898 ; he wrote, for several series of biographies, studies of Coleridge ( 1884 ), Sterne ( 1882 ), William III ( 1888 ), Shaftesbury ( 1886 ), Strafford ( 1889 ), and Lord Salisbury ( 1891 ); he compiled a biography of Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer ( 1896 ); and after a visit to Egypt he published a volume on the country, and in 1897 appeared his book on Lord Cromer, the man who had done so much to bring it back to prosperity.

Sterne died in London after years of fighting consumption.

* November 24-Laurence Sterne, Irish-born novelist ( died 1768 )

The first volume, titled Le Manuscript de Nicodemus ( The Manuscript of Nicodemus ), was drawn by René Sterne who suddenly died on November 15, 2006, delaying the publication of the book.

It was published on 27 February, and on 18 March Sterne died.

Because Sterne died before he could finish the novel, his long time friend John Hall-Stevenson ( who is also identified with the name Eugenius in the novel ) wrote a continuation.

Unlike Sterne, who only published two novels, or Fielding, who died before he could manage more than four novels, Smollett was prolific.
