 A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a novel by British author Laurence Sterne, written and first published in 1768, as Sterne was facing death.
In 1765 Laurence Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view.
The novel can be seen as an epilogue to the unfinished The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and also as an answer to Tobias Smollett's decidedly unsentimental Travels through France and Italy.

Early in 1762 he was ordered to France for his health, and on crossing to Paris was received with high distinction.
In the previous year he had made the trip to the Continent that formed the basis of “The Sentimental Journey,” which he finished in 1767.
The distinctness with which we can picture the successive scenes of his not extraordinary journey and the lastingness of the impressions left on us are the best testimony to his quality as a master of English prose.

 Chapter Introduction of A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy by Laurence Sterne
The Sentimental Journey was a deliberate composition: that is to say, it was no happy inspiration, no original idea.
It would be little to our purpose to compare the Sentimental Journey with other Travels of the period, in an attempt to show how far Sterne diverged from the normal standard of such works, or how far he was inspired by this, that, or the other particular work.
The Sentimental Journey is a European book, indeed a universal book; it transcends the language in which it is written and persuades us all to a mutual toleration—and mutual toleration, as the old French officer at the Opera said to Sterne, teaches us mutual love.

I had left London with so much precipitation, that it never enter'd my mind that we were at war with France; and had reached Dover, and looked through my glass at the hills beyond Boulogne, before the idea presented itself; and with this in its train, that there was no getting there without a passport.

As La Fleur went the whole tour of France and Italy with me, I must interest the reader in his behalf by saying that I had never less reason to repent of the impulses which generally do determine me than in regard to this fellow.
He was a faithful, affectionate, simple soul as ever trudged after the heels of a philosopher; and notwithstanding his talents of drum-beating and spatterdash-making, which, though very good in themselves, happened to be of no great service to me, yet was I hourly recompensed by the festivity of his temper; it supplied all defects.

It records the adventures of the amiable Parson Yorick, as he sets off on his travels through France and Italy, relishing his encounters with all manner of men and women-particularly the pretty ones.
With A Sentimental Journey, as well as his masterpiece, Tristram Shandy, Sterne forged a truly original style and established himself as the first of the stream-of-consciousness writers.
The narrator of the "Journey" is Parson Yorick, a character introduced in Sterne's "Tristram Shandy", who owes as much to Shakespeare's jester as to Cervantes' Don Quixote.

I had never quitted the lady’s hand all this time, and had held it so long, that it would have been indecent to have let it go, without first pressing it to my lips: the blood and spirits, which had suffered a revulsion from her, crowded back to her as I did it.
But ’tis a civil thing, said I;—­and as I generally act from the first impulse, and therefore seldom listen to these cabals, which serve no purpose, that I know of, but to encompass the heart with adamant—­I turned instantly about to the lady.
