false 762821 33 <i>A Sentimental Journey</i> is a novel without a plot, a journey without a destination. It records the adventures of the amiable Parson Yorick, as he sets off on his travels through France and Italy, relishing his encounters with all manner of men and women-particularly the pretty ones. Sterne's tale rapidly moves away from the narrative of travel to become a series of dramatic sketches, ironic incidents, philosophical musings, reminiscences, and anecdotes; sharp wit is mixed with gaiety, irony with tender feeling. With <i>A Sentimental Journey</i>, as well as his masterpiece, <i>Tristram Shandy</i>, Sterne forged a truly original style and established himself as the first of the stream-of-consciousness writers. <br><br> This new Penguin Classics edition features an introduction that discusses the novel in relation to Sterne's other writing and places it within the context of "sentimental" literature. Also included are a chronology, suggestions for further reading, and full explanatory notes. 2334227 1967 A Sentimental Journey (Penguin Classics) total:283|5:45|4:78|3:93|2:39|1:28| 283 922 484 31 5 1 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon May 14 11:57:59 -0700 2007 Mon May 14 14:13:17 -0700 2007
