Sterne Laurence (w3151)

  • Description: Laurence Sterne, an Irish-born writer of the 18th century, is best known for The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman but also for A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy (1768), one of the founding texts of modern travel literature. In this book—written shortly before his death—Sterne, through his narrator Yorick, recounts an unconventional Grand Tour: less focused on monuments than on emotions, chance encounters, and the subtleties of human sensibility. His stops in France and Italy turned travel into an inner experience and influenced generations of travelers and writers
