“Prague is not, strictly speaking, travel writing but it is, among other things, an excellent example of what travel writing is becoming, if indeed it hasn't already done so. . . . People are no longer so easily satisfied by the mere travel impressions of some outsider much like themselves. Instead they gravitate towards writers who actually have lived not simply in, but inside, a location for an extended period, as one lives inside one's clothes.” PeopleIfsWritingDoneExampleBecomingPeriodsClothesMereImpressionSatisfiedExcellentOutsidersLocationTravel WritingPrague Author:George Fetherling

“The Girl of the Period, sauntering before one down Broadway, is one panorama of awful surprises from top to toe. Her clothes characterize her. She never characterizes her clothes. She is upholstered, not ornamented. She is bundled, not draped. She is puckered, not folded. She struts, she does not sweep. She has not one of the attributes of nature nor of proper art. She neither soothes the eye like a flower, nor pleases it like a picture. She wearies it like a kaleidoscope. She is a meaningless dazzle of broken effects.” DoeArtEyeGirlEffectsFashionYouthFlowerBrokenPeriodsPleaseClothesSurpriseAwfulAttributesMeaninglessToesBroadwaySaunteringDazzleKaleidoscopePanorama Author:Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
