A talk, reading, musical performance and Q&A built around the premiere screening of a short documentary video, A Sentimental Painting, made in collaboration with Caleb Klace, Jon Mee, and Patrick Wildgust.
The documentary marks the 250th anniversary of both Laurence Sterne's death and the publication of his final work, A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy. Both the film and discussion event explore the faded eighteenth-century meanings of 'sentiment' and Sterne's legacy in the broad field of life writing.
