false 6011061 1 'Love is nothing without feeling. And feeling is still less without love.'<br> Celebrated in its own day as the progenitor of 'a school of sentimental writers', A Sentimental Journey (1768) has outlasted its many imitators because of the humour and mischievous eroticism that inform Mr Yorick's travels. Setting out to journey to France and Italy he gets little further than Lyons but finds much to appreciate, in contrast to contemporary travel writers whom Sterne satirizes in the figures of Smelfungus and Mundungus. A master of ambiguity and double entendre, Sterne is nevertheless as concerned as his peers with exploring the nature of virtue; unlike other writers of sentimental fiction Sterne insists on the inseparability of desire and feeling.<br> This new edition includes a selection from The Sermons of Mr Yorick, which shed light on the concerns of the Journey, The Journal to Eliza, which records Sterne's feelings as he languishes for the company of Eliza Draper, and A Political Romance, the satire on a local ecclesiastical squabble that was the catalyst for Sterne's literary career. 6186242 15 12 2008 A Sentimental Journey and Other Writings (Oxford World's Classics) total:5|5:1|4:1|3:3|2:0|1:0| 5 18 10 0 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 4 0 false Mon Nov 23 09:43:23 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 09:43:23 -0800 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 3 0 false Mon Nov 16 18:22:58 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 18:22:58 -0800 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 3 0 false Thu Oct 22 00:27:01 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 14:17:08 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 14:17:14 -0700 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 0 0 false Tue Jul 21 16:38:32 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 16:38:35 -0700 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 0 0 false Mon Jul 20 15:02:06 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 15:02:06 -0700 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 0 0 false Sat Apr 11 08:15:29 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 08:15:29 -0700 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 5 0 false Sat Apr 04 08:18:52 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 08:18:52 -0700 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 0 0 false Sat Mar 14 08:38:21 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 08:38:21 -0700 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 0 0 false Sat Jan 24 08:16:18 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 08:16:18 -0800 2009 6011061 0199537186 9780199537181 5 0 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011061.A_Sentimental_Journey_and_Other_Writings 3 0 false Fri Jan 09 13:11:04 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 13:11:04 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6011061
