Re: VN on Sterne query (fwd)

Body
In reply to the Sterne query, one of my favorite references appears on
page 195 of volume II of *Eugene Onegin*: "As Sterne said of his Tristram
Shandy (vol 1, ch. 22) '...my work is digressive, and it is progressive,
too... Digressions, incontestably, are the sun-shine--they are the life,
the soul of reading.'" See the index of EO for other references in that
work. Also, *Nikolai Gogol* index might be fruitful, but I don't have it
handy.
