Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey

"This collection brings together a group of distinguished Sterne scholars whose focus on the author’s final publication demonstrates the way new questions, new methodologies, new pairings, and new contexts can invigorate our understanding of Sterne, his world, and his work."

— Elizabeth Kraft, author of Laurence Sterne Revisited

"A welcome addition to criticism on Sterne."

— XVII-XVIII

"The strength of the resulting volume lies not only in the constituent essays, but also in the intelligence and creativity with which Newbould and Gerard have disposed and framed them, setting them in constantly illuminating conversation with one another. In their expert editorial hands, A Sentimental Journey has never looked so rich in imaginative implication and interpretative possibility."

— The Shandean

"The prime virtue of this collection is that it combines more traditional literary approaches with more recent models of literary scholarship, influenced by affect theory, gender studies, animal studies, and thing theory.  As such, it stands as a valuable snapshot of Sterne studies in the present."

— Jesse Molesworth, author of Chance and the Eighteenth-Century Novel: Realism, Probability, Magic
