xii, 162pp. Colour lithograph frontispiece and a further 15 similar in text, all by Nigel Lambourne. Introduced by Oliver Warner. Quarter bound in wax cloth over patterned cloth, with lettering to spine, decorated endpapers. Hint of rounding to corners and spine ends. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, a little bumped at edges with minor loss at head of spine. Backstrip sunned. Jacket fitted with archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect & prolong its life. It is not adhered to the book or to the jacket. Sterne was one of the two or three members of the clergy who chose to write of love and its pleasures despite the strictness of his calling. A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy might very properly be called ‘A Romantic Mission’, for this account of the clerical Casanova’s travels is little less than a veritable chronicle of encounters and intimacies with the gentler sex ranging from chamber maid to Duchess, from grisette to Marquisina. It is one of our rich literary gifts out of the past.
