Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy
continues to be as widely read and admired as upon its first
appearance. Deemed more accessible than Sterne’s Life and
Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and often assigned as a
college text, A Sentimental Journey has received its share of
critical attention, but—unlike Tristram Shandy—to date it has
not been the subject of a dedicated anthology of critical essays.
This volume fills that gap with fresh perspectives on Sterne’s
novel that will appeal to students and critics alike. Together with
an introduction that situates each essay within A Sentimental
Journey’s reception history, and a tailpiece detailing the
culmination of Sterne’s career and his death, this volume
presents a cohesive approach to this significant text that is
simultaneously grounded and revelatory.

This book investigates the figure of the military man in the long
eighteenth century in order to explore how ideas about militarism
served as vehicles for conceptualizations of masculinity. Bringing
together representations of military men and accounts of court
martial proceedings, this book examines eighteenth-century
arguments about masculinity and those that appealed to the
'naturally' sexed body and construed masculinity as social
construction and performance. Julia Banister's discussion draws on
a range of printed materials, including canonical literary and
philosophical texts by David Hume, Adam Smith, Horace Walpole and
Jane Austen, and texts relating to the naval trials of, amongst
others, Admiral John Byng. By mapping eighteenth-century ideas
about militarism, including professionalism and heroism, alongside
broader cultural concerns with politeness, sensibility, the Gothic
past and celebrity, Julia Banister reveals how ideas about
masculinity and militarism were shaped by and within
eighteenth-century culture.
