About A Sentimental Journey

“It had ever, as I told the reader, been one of the singular blessings of my life, to be almost every hour of it miserably in love with some one.”

A Sentimental Journey is a novel by celebrated English author Laurence Sterne, first published in 1768. A semi-autobiographical account of the author’s own experiences during his earlier travels in France and Italy, the novel’s massive popularity on release helped establish travel writing as a major genre of the late 18th century.

The plot follows the adventures of affable Parson Yorick, as he departs on his travels, recounting his experiences along the way in a series of dramatic sketches, philosophical reflections, reminiscences and yarns. By turns humorous, tender and ironic, and with a continuing appeal for modern readers, this stream-of-consciousness classic is a truly unmissable read.
