A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy

A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768) Inferred

InferredFuller writes 'Heines inimitable Sentimental Journey' — this is a reference to Sterne's famous novel, which Goethe describes as having 'given all travellers a penny for writing their travels in a subjective form.' The attribution to 'Heine' likely reflects Goethe using a possessive reference or a German critical tradition; the work itself is unambiguously Sterne's A Sentimental Journey.
