A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy Summary
|
' A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy |
|
|
| In the persona of Yorick, Laurence Sterne constructs A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy to document, fictionalize and sentimentalize his own 1765 travels in Europe. The author enhances each significant encounter of the journey with an emotional stocktaking as well as a philosophical probe into the encounter’s implications for the thinking traveler. Because the female travelers Yorick meets form the center of his felt experience, the dominant theme of the book may very well be “on how to approach women.” Somber and giddy by turns, the travelogue engages readers in Yorick’s constant social challenge: coming up with new environs (and new objects of adoration) with his heart on his sleeve. |

| As I pronounced the words great claims, he gave a slight glance with his eye downwards upon the sleeve of his tunic.-I felt the full force of the appeal.-I acknowledge it, said I-a coarse habit, and that but once in three years, with meager diet-are no great matters; and the true point of pity is, as they can be earn'd in the world with so little industry--by Laurence Sterne. |
