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. Sterne's tale rapidly moves away from the narrative of travel to become a series of dramatic sketches, ironic incidents, philosophical musings, reminiscences, and anecdotes; sharp wit is mixed with gaiety, irony with tender feeling. With \u003cb\u003eA Sentimental Journey\u003c\/b\u003e, as well as his masterpiece, \u003cb\u003eTristram Shandy\u003c\/b\u003e, Sterne forged a truly original style and established himself as the first of the stream-of-consciousness writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new Penguin Classics edition features an introduction that discusses the novel in relation to Sterne's other writing and places it within the context of \"sentimental\" literature.
