I hate the expression "ahead of its time," because it's usually used to imply that something of a certain level of quality is inconceivable for people from previous generations to achieve. Tristram Shandy is different: it's ahead of its time in that it uses literary techniques that wouldn't even be properly introduced or formalized for close to two centuries after is appearance. It's structured like a 20th century book.
