- Abstract:
- I examine the anthropocentric and sentimentalist views present in the representation of animals in Laurence Sterne’s “Tristram Shandy” and “A Sentimental Journey”, and I demonstrate how the fluctuations between these two perspectives undermines the traditional barrier we place between animals and ourselves, and encourages us to assume a more critical stance in our attitudes towards them.
