Clochemerle: Clochemerle'', is a French satirical novel
A Political Romance: '''''A Political Romance''''' is a 1759 novel by Laurence Sterne, author of ''Tristram Shandy''.


The novel was the first work written by Sterne, and it can be labelled a ''roman à clef'' or a ''cronique scandaleuse'', which were popular at the beginning of the 18th century. It can be considered a mock-epic allegory that describes a provincial squabble between a church-lawyer, an archbishop and a Dean, i.e. a "Lilliputian" satire on ecclesiastical politics in Sterne's York.
