By Sterne Laurence
Laurence Sterne · 1768
Parson Yorick sets off across France and Italy, recording encounters rather than monuments. The narrative skips guidebook facts in favor of fleeting emotions and sharp social comedy. Sterne mixes digressions, blank pages, and playful typography to mock grand travelogues of the era. The result is a compact, episodic novel that anticipates modern travel writing.
