| Tobias Smollett travelled through Europe with his wife in 1763-65 in a journey designed to recover his mental and physical health after the death of their daughter. The resulting travel narrative provoked controversy and anger in the eighteenth century, when it was often negatively compared to Laurence Sterneâ s fictional European travels in A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy. Unlike Sterneâ s sensitive hero, Smollett is argumentative, acerbic, and often contemptuous of local customs. In addition to a critical introduction, this edition provides extensive annotation and appendices with material on Smollettâ s correspondence, the bookâ s reception in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, related travel writing, and Smollettâ s infamous satirization as â Smelfungusâ in Sterneâ s A Sentimental Journey. |
