Reader as Hobby-horse in Tristram Shandy
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The relationship between Tristram and his reader is only superficially what the text calls at one point “conversation” (TS, 2.9.125). It might more properly be called dispute. As writer, Tristram sets upon his reader and draws him about, harassing, upbraiding, riding him like a temperamental jockey trying to manage a recalcitrant horse. This disputatious riding has for its object, not mere domination of the reader, but stimulation and provocation, the equal engagement of writer and reader in the creative journeying through the novel.
