"The Journal to Eliza and Various letters by Laurence Sterne and Elizabeth Draper" is a collection of correspondence written in 1767. In the final year of his life, the married clergyman Laurence Sterne developed an intense emotional bond with the young Elizabeth Draper. Their public affection sparked gossip in London society. After just three months together, Draper departed for India, and they never met again. They exchanged letters and kept private journals
meant for each other's eyes. Most of their correspondence vanished, leaving behind only fragments of a passionate relationship that influenced Sterne's final novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
