EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the whimsical and sentimental encounter between Laurence Sterne's alter ego, Yorick, and a Grisette in his novel, "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy." Dated between 1713 and 1768, this illustration from Mary Evans Prints Online transports us back to an era of romance and wanderlust. Yorick, dressed in a fashionable coat and hat, is shown seated on a bench with a young woman, a Grisette, who is holding a pair of scissors and a pair of gloves. A curious dog looks on from the side, adding to the scene's charm. The Grisette's expression is playful and mischievous, while Yorick's gaze is filled with admiration and longing. Sterne's "A Sentimental Journey" is a novel of introspection and self-discovery, and this encounter between Yorick and the Grisette is a prime example of the author's exploration of human emotion. The image captures the tenderness and vulnerability of the moment, as Yorick connects with the Grisette in a brief yet meaningful exchange. The use of props such as the scissors and gloves adds to the symbolism of the scene, representing the fleeting nature of life and the passage of time. The image is a beautiful representation of the novel's themes of sentimentality, introspection, and the human condition. Overall, this illustration is a captivating glimpse into the world of Laurence Sterne and his alter ego, Yorick, and serves as a reminder of the power of human connection and the beauty of the sentimental journey.
