In an essay revisiting, yet again, Sterne's purported relationship to the novel tradition of Fielding, Smollett, and Richardson, Tim Parnell offers as one small piece of evidence Alan Dugald McKillop's 1956 suggestion that Richardson's close attention to gesture in Sir Charles Grandison may have influenced Sterne. It is one of the more convincing suggestions among the many that have been reiterated by Tom Keymer and others to place Sterne in the "novel" tradition of midcentury, even if as a parodist, but it leads Parnell to preface his response to McKillop's suggestion with what must surely have occurred to most readers: "Hard as it is to imagine Sterne ploughing his way through Grandison." Here, New keeps in mind that authors can borrow verbatim or otherwise from authors with whom they are not in conversation and, conversely, not borrow in any obvious way from those with whom they are richly and necessarily engaged.
