Self-Reflexive Metafictional Games in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy

Tristram Shandy İngiliz Edebiyatı”nın sıradışı eserlerinden biridir. Roman, günümüz teorilerinden iki yüzyıl kadar önce yazılmasına rağmen birçok üst-kurgusal tekniği incelemek için iyi bir örnektir. Ro- man Fielding’in Tom Jones ve Richardson’nın Pamela adlı eserlerinin çağdaşı olsa da bu yapısal bütünlük içeren eserlerle hemen hemen hiç benzerlik göstermez. Romanda Tristram anlamı belirleyen geleneksel an- latıcı rolünden uzaktır ve biçimsel özellikleri tam ve sıralı bir hikaye anlatmak uğruna feda etmez. Bunla- rın yerine Tristram, bilinçli ve kendini yansıtan bir şekilde kurgusal dünyasını okuyucularının gözü önün- de oluşturur. Bir üstkurgusal eser gibi Tristram Shandy kendi yazım aşamasını anlatır. Olanları yansıtmak yerine yazım aşamasının farkında olan roman, kendi kurgusallığını absurd bir şekilde açığa vurur ve üst- kurmaca türüne örnek teşkil eder
