Abstract
In this essay, the author will primarily focus on the function and significance of war in Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy and J. L. Carr’s A Month in the Country. Although their literary contexts are different, in both Tristram Shandy and A Month in the Country, the concept of war plays a significant role in the development of exploring the characters’ journeys of identities.
