Book Synopsis Narrative Structure and Philosophical Debates in Tristram Shandy and Jacques Le Fataliste by : Margaux Whiskin
Book excerpt: In the final pages of Jacques le fataliste the narrator draws a connection between Diderot's novel and Sterne's Tristram Shandy through an ambiguous accusation of plagiarism, making it unclear as to which text is the original and which author is the plagiarist. Margaux Whiskin compares both novels and explores Diderot's motives in suggesting that his novel might be a plagiarised version of Sterne's.
