"The Journal to Eliza and Various Letters" by Laurence Sterne and Elizabeth Draper is a collection of personal correspondence and diary entries written during the 18th century. This work primarily revolves around the romantic relationship between Sterne and Draper, capturing Sterne's feelings and reflections on their connection, especially during their separation. As such, it provides not just a glimpse into the intimate emotions of its authors but also a historical perspective on love and sentimentality of the time. At the start of "The Journal to Eliza," Sterne is depicted as a lovesick man grappling with the anguish of separation from Eliza Draper, who is preparing to leave for India. The narrative reveals his emotional turmoil through poignant reflections, expressing a deep yearning for her presence. He sends her letters filled with affection and longing, framing his sentiments through metaphors and spiritual musings, while also touching on the challenges Eliza faces in her life. This opening segment sets a contrasting tone of tender longing amidst the backdrop of the societal norms of their era, making it a compelling exploration of romantic devotion.
