The first full-length and comprehensive study of the illustrations
of Sterne's work, this book explores the ability of Sterne's texts
to inspire the visual imagination. It helps to explain why scores
of editions of his fiction have been illustrated, some profusely:
to fulfill the reader's desire, as well as the artist's compulsion,
to visualize Sterne's words. Gerard places his subject in a clear
and innovative theoretical framework which opens the field to
general word and image studies. The author begins by examining the
distinct varieties of pictorialism in Sterne's texts. The remainder
of the study takes into account three remarkable series of
illustrations-representing Trim reading the sermon, didactic
sentimentalism in A Sentimental Journey and Henry Mackenzie's Man
of Feeling, and the many and diverse portrayals of 'poor Maria' -
to demonstrate the ways in which culture projects these texts
differently through the various artists.

This collection centers on the remarkable life and career of the
writer and actor Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821), active in Great
Britain in the late eighteenth century. Inspired by the example of
Inchbald's biographer, Annibel Jenkins (1918-2013), the
contributors explore the broad historical and cultural context
around Inchbald's life and work, with essays ranging from the
Restoration to the nineteenth century. Ranging from visual culture,
theater history, literary analyses, to historical investigations,
the essays not only present a fuller picture of cultural life in
Great Britain in the long eighteenth century, but also reflect a
range of disciplinary perspectives. The collection concludes with
the final scholarly presentation of the late Professor Jenkins, a
study of the eighteenth-century English newspaper The World
(1753-1756).
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.
