Description: SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY to FRANCE & ITALY by Mr. YORICK by LAURENCE STERNE London, No date [1792]2 volumes bound togetherSize 4 1/4 by 6 3/4"Text in EnglishFull calf with title label on the spine. Very good condition , minor wear, some foxing and burned spot in the lower right corner of title page166 pages======================Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view. The novel can be seen as an epilogue to the possibly unfinished work The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and also as an answer to Tobias Smollett's decidedly unsentimental Travels through France and Italy. Sterne had met Smollett during his travels in Europe, and strongly objected to his spleen, acerbity and quarrelsomeness. He modeled the character of Smelfungus on him.The novel was extremely popular and influential and helped establish travel writing as the dominant genre of the second half of the 18th century. ========================== Refund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
