About This Book

A scholarly study traces the reception and influence of Laurence Sterne among German readers and writers in the eighteenth century, using archival research and contemporary periodical evidence to reconstruct translations, editions, and the publication history of The Sentimental Journey. It surveys responses before and after that work’s appearance, outlines the channels of transmission such as journals and translators, and documents imitators and stylistic followers as well as organized opposition to his sentimental manner. Chapters contextualize English literary impact on German narrative tastes and provide a concluding bibliography and reference apparatus for further investigation.
