Do you know, it is strange that one should have been able to come to feel like this, but the Germans could destroy all these beautiful places that I love so much; they may blow up the museums, overthrow monuments it would only leave me still determined to fight on. "France may disappear, if you like. It may be called Frankreich, if you like. We may be driven back to the very Pyrenees.
Through Sterne’s influence the account of travels became more personal, less purely topographical, more volatile and merry, more subjective. Goethe in a passage in the “Campagne in Frankreich,” to which reference is made later, acknowledges this impulse as derived from Yorick. Its presence was felt even when there was no outward effort at sentimental journeying. The suggestion that the record of a journey was personal and tinged with humor was essential to its popularity. It was probably purely an effort to make use of this appeal which led the author of “Bemerkungen eines Reisenden durch Deutschland, Frankreich, England und Holland,” a
A much more successful attempt was the “Sentimental Journey, Intended as a Sequel to Mr. Sterne’s, Through Italy, Switzerland and France, by Mr. Shandy,” two volumes, 12mo, 1793.

These vague and enigmatic charges at bottom only express the annoyance of the combatants at their failure to draw neutrals into the strife . The popular Prussian view about England found expression in the comic paper Kladderdatsch: Deutschland beziehe billige Sympathien Und Frankreich theures Kriegsmateriel.
Moritz August von Thümmel in his famous “Reise in die mittäglichen Provinzen von Frankreich” adopted Sterne’s general idea of sentimental journeying, shorn largely of the capriciousness and whimsicality which marked Sterne’s pilgrimage. He followed Sterne also in driving the sensuous to the borderland of the sensual.
But he wasn't foxy enough to not sign G. S. down to the bottom of it and that stands for his name George Shaffer and he is the only G. S. in the Co. so it looks like we had him up in a tree.
