Sterne, Laurence and Illustrated by Bastin and G. Nichols after designs by Jacque and Fussell A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy
London Joseph Thomas 1841 First Thus Leather Fine/No jacket as issued. Illustrated
Octavo, 172pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. All Edges are gilt. Gilt inner dentelles. Illustrated by Bastin and G. Nichols after designs by Jacque and Fussell. Rebound in fine leather. Original cloth cover and cloth spine mounted on sheets and bound in at the end of the book. Both the original cover and spine are in fine condition and well preserved inside the book. New cloth end papers. A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a novel by Irish author Laurence Sterne, written and first published in 1768, as Sterne was facing death. In 1765 Laurence 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. The novel was extremely popular and influential and helped establish travel writing as the dominant genre of the second half of the 18th century. Unlike prior travel accounts which stressed classical learning and objective non- personal points of view, A Sentimental Journey emphasized the subjective discussions of personal taste and sentiments, of manners and morals over classical learning. Throughout the 1770's women travel writers began publishing significant numbers of sentimental travel accounts. Sentiment also became a favorite style among those expressing non-mainstream views including political radicalism. Sterne died less than three weeks after it was published.
