多情客游记 = A sentimental journey through France and Italy

菲尔丁和理查逊为英语小说创立"规范"的传世经典《汤姆·琼斯》及《克拉丽莎》问世仅仅十多年，小说这种新文学样式就被劳伦斯·斯特恩的《项狄传》翻腾了个底朝天。几年后他又让其中的人物约里克牧师起死回生，记述其在英法战争期间前往法国旅行的见闻和经历，出版了另一部代表作《多情客游记》。作品在很大程度上是对游记体裁的戏仿，主要目的不是写那种典型的自在逍遥的年轻绅士，而是一个受感情冲动和奇怪念头驱使的堂吉诃德式的流浪汉。因此，他的"旅行"便更显随意，尤其彰显的是兴之所至、多情善感的情感逻辑——所谓"深切的善感秉性"，是为感伤主义文学的不二经典；而同时在感伤之中又蕴含诙谐幽默，在对情感的褒扬中，嘲笑之声又一直如影随形，暗藏着多面的嘲讽，具有多面而又丰富的文学和文化内涵。(When the classical Tom Jones and Clarissa written by Fielding and Richardson to set up the "principle" for the English novel have only come out for about only 10 years, the novel style, such a new literature form has been completely overturned by Tristram Shandy of Laurence Sterne. A few years later, he let the figure of Rev Jake revived and describe what he has heard and seen as well as his experience during his visit in France and then publish his another representative masterpiece named A Sentimental Journey. The work is largely a parody of a travelogue whose main purpose is not to write the typical carefree young gentleman, but to a quixotic vagrant driven by emotional impulses and strange ideas. Therefore, his "travel" could reflect the random features, in particular, highlight the author's sentimental logic — the so-called "deep sentimental mettle", and should be known as the classic of sentimental literature; while the humor has also been covered in the sentiment, in the praise to the emotion, the sound of laughter has been together hand in hand with multi-faceted mockery as well as rich literary and cultural connotations hidden behind.)
