Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Vassar Girls in England: A Holiday Excursion of Three College Girls Through the Mother Country
ND in spite of all this I do not like the English! Barbara Atchison I You surely do not mean that you do not like your cousins. No, I except them. They seem to me almost like Americans; but English people typically and collectively impress me as the most antipathetic, - the most disagreeable on the face of the earth.
And yet, remarked Cecilia Boylston, the eldest of the three, a dignified girl with a face as pure and clear as her pebble eye glasses, you were in raptures a moment ago over this fascinating little country-house, with the ivy clinging to the stepped gables, making such a rich contrast to the red brick, over this cozy alcoved window, with that wonderful View, over all the quaint ways of the household, and the Chippendale furniture.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a journey through England with the eyes of three young American women in the era of high fashion and culture. The author weaves the tale of Barbara, Maud, and Cecilia, Vassar students lured to the grand houses and gardens of 19th century Britain. Their experiences are a cavalcade of balls and croquet matches, horse races and picnics, and the occasional literary or artistic observation. Amidst the elegance, the author crafts a complex web of themes, including the influence of culture in one's character, the limits of propriety and femininity, and the hidden ties of family history and connections. Interwoven with the tales of Barbara and her companions, the author illustrates the complex relationship between America and England in a time of social change and literary explosion. This insightful narrative will transport any reader to a bygone era, offering in depth examinations of themes still relevant to this day.
