In the “Rereading the Classics” section there is an article by Alexander Livergant “Yorick or Stern” with the subtitle “On the 250th anniversary of the death of Laurence Stern.” “The sentimentalist Stern creates on the pages of the novel examples of an evil caricature of sentimental literature - only a sentimentalist can do such an accurate and evil parody - he knows the laws of the genre.”
