Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey

A Legacy to the World

Bucknell University Press

Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy continues to be as widely read and admired as upon its first appearance. Deemed more accessible than Sterne’s Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and often assigned as a college text, A Sentimental Journey has received its share of critical attention, but—unlike Tristram Shandy—to date it has not been the subject of a dedicated anthology of critical essays. This volume fills that much-needed gap with fresh perspectives on Sterne’s novel that will appeal to students and critics alike. Together with an introduction that situates each essay within A Sentimental Journey’s reception history, and a tailpiece detailing the culmination of Sterne’s career and his death, this volume presents a cohesive approach to this significant text that is simultaneously grounded and revelatory.

Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era (Volume 26)

Bucknell University Press

1650–1850 combines fresh considerations of prominent authors and artists with searches for overlooked or offbeat elements of the Enlightenment legacy. Readers of Volume 26 will explore the response among British women writers to Islam, female religious enthusiasts, theories of monarchy, famous authors living in villages, and a special feature on metaphor in the Enlightenment. Enlivening the volume is a cavalcade of full-length book reviews.
