In 2018, Laurence Sterne’s _A Sentimental Journey through France and
Italy_, the author’s ‘work of redemption,’ will have been
entertaining, touching and outraging readers for 250 years. To mark
the sestercentennial anniversary of its publication and Laurence
Sterne’s death, we are pleased to issue a call for proposals for
contributions to an essay collection, _‘A Legacy to the World’:
New Approaches to Laurence Sterne’s ‘A Sentimental Journey’ and
other Works_. We are particularly interested in new explorations of
affect, culture, gender, class, religion and nation, and in studies of
connections between _A Sentimental Journey_ and other works by Sterne
