To mark the 300th Anniversary of Laurence Sterne's birth, HISTORYWORKS has made an installation, filmed on location at Shandy Hall where Laurence Sterne lived and wrote eloquent prose, publishing amongst other works, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.

9 Readings have been chosen to convey the range of Laurence Sterne's writings and concerns, and to show 9 glimpses into the domestic dwelling that was Laurence Sterne's home.  All the readings are performed by Patrick Wildgust, Curator at the Laurence Sterne Trust. To see the 9 films, go to the arrows set in the 9 Panes of the front door at Shandy Hall here:
