Description
A Sentimental Journey is a novel without a plot, a journey without a destination. It records the adventures of the amiable Parson Yorick as he travels through France and Italy, relishing his encounters with all manner of men and women.
The novel rapidly moves away from the narrative of travel to become a series of dramatic sketches, ironic incidents, philosophical musings, reminiscences, and anecdotes. Sterne's tale is marked by sharp wit, gaiety, and tender feeling, showcasing his unique style and establishing him as a pioneering stream-of-consciousness writer.
This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction, chronology, suggestions for further reading, and full explanatory notes, providing a comprehensive understanding of the novel and its place within the literary landscape.
