Back to the future


"I am, The AUTHOR." ——In the copy: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy Gentleman Volume I-III T. Cadell. London, 1794, from Aabenhus Antikvariat, we also found, in Book Nine (Vol. III) this signature below the Authors dedication to "A Great Man" (Lord *******) —Either Sterne,—The AUTHOR—has been traveling in time —or someone else— perhaps the bookbinder — has been practising skills in writing authors signatures in books.

Dedication


Dedication "to Bente from Paul" in a 2001 Penguin edition of A Sentimental Journey. The book was found in a second-hand shop in Århus among several other Sterne related titles, all with the inscription "BAM" at the halftitle-page. Bente Ahlers Møller translated the very first complete danish edition of Tristram Shandy in 1976. Paul Goring edited the 2001 Penguin edition of A Sentimental Journey.
