- The book took over four years of full-time work due to the breadth and depth of work involved. The focus on German writers around 1800 extends across literature and philosophy, and canonical and lesser-known authors which represents an endeavour of considerable scope. In addition it traces the roots of the "preface problem" in antiquity, and draws on critical theory, which required extensive analysis. The book is also comparative, inasmuch as it takes Sterne as a significant influence on the writers considered and invokes a cast of European names. It aims both at a wider scholarly audience and an international market.
