Item description from seller

A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy Laurence Sterne Limited Edition by Woodbank Press First published in London in 1768, only weeks before Laurence Sterne's death, A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is one of the masterpieces of eighteenth-century English literature. Departing from the conventions of the travel narrative, Sterne transformed the journey itself into an exploration of character, sensibility and human nature, creating a work whose wit, elegance and psychological insight continue to delight readers more than two centuries later. Travelling under the persona of Parson Yorick, Sterne moves through France with curiosity rather than purpose, finding significance not in monuments or landscapes but in fleeting encounters, conversation and gesture. Blending humour with philosophical reflection, A Sentimental Journey became one of the defining works of the Age of Sensibility and exercised a lasting influence upon the development of the modern novel. The Woodbank Press Edition Published by Woodbank Press in a strictly limited edition of 25 numbered copies, this octavo edition is newly typeset in Monotype Bell, the distinguished typeface derived from the celebrated roman cut for the British publisher John Bell in the late eighteenth century. Its clarity, restraint and classical proportions make it particularly suited to Sterne's prose. The volume is printed on Century Laid, a mould-made pure cotton paper with traditional watermarks, selected for its strength, tactile surface and permanence. Each copy is hand bound in half leather with marbled paper-covered boards, a gilt-decorated spine, marbled edges, hand-marbled endpapers and a custom-made slipcase. The edition has been designed in the classical European tradition, with particular attention given to typography, proportion and craftsmanship. Produced in a limitation of only twenty-five copies, the edition is intended to be read, collected and preserved.
