Cosimo Classics Travel & Exploration

This book is far removed from the conventional travel book, and is fiction rather than reportage. Sterne travelled extensively in the 1760s, and drew on his experiences to write the narrative of Mr Yorick, the Sentimental traveller. The Journal to Eliza and A Political Romance both demonstrate the rare early satire which marked the beginning of the major phase of Sterne's career.
