En savoir plus sur le livre

Narrated by the sensitive Reverend Mr. Yorick, the book offers a charming account of his travels through France, accompanied by his servant La Fleur. Laurence Sterne's emphasis on personal experiences and reflections on manners and morals marked a departure from traditional travel literature, establishing a new, elegant episodic style. This work serves as both a stand-alone narrative and an epilogue to his earlier novel. Additionally, the edition includes two significant shorter works, "The Journal to Eliza" and "A Political Romance," enhancing its literary value.
