The occurrence of such terms as old-hat, button-hole and leaky vessel echo jokes familiar to readers of Sterne, but between the usage in the hands of the writers who contributed to these collections and Sterne’s genius there is a vast chasm. While we may find it impossible to define the boundary between hack writing and literary genius, examples from Sterne, Fielding and Richardson may suggest that it remains a task essential to defining the category of literature as distinct from all other intellectual categories.
