ludicrously \Prononciation ?\
- Grotesquement.
One example which had an international impact was the novel written by an Anglican clergyman, Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristam Shandy (1759), which ludicrously parodied traditional, religious, legal and scientific scholarship, epitomized by ’the great and learned Hafen Slawkenbergius’, who knew all there was to be know – about noses.
