A gem of a diary kept by a girl of 14, the intelligent and sophisticated daughter of a prominent upper middle-class family growing up on a country estate in early Victorian England, in fact during the first year of the reign of Queen Victoria. The diary, a closely wrottem 150-page document, evokes the genteel society of the period, and does so with real presence, while also making a poignant personal statement. There are many interesting narratives here--of education: French lessons, dancing lessons, reading; of pastimes and recreation including games, donkey riding, walks in the woods, flower gathering, swimming, and shell gathering; of travel: a visit to London to see the Coronation, another to the Italian opera; of encounters with peers, siblings, and companions, and with the adult world of family, teachers, maids. This is a record of inner life as well, of intimate thoughts and feelings that reveal a lively endearing personality. Here is a highly observant, feisty young woman with a mind of her own, but also one who is vulnerable, subject to moments of self-doubt, and even self-loathing; a young woman with a love of privacy and secrecy--her diary is her refuge--sentimantal, at times a bit melodramatic, in love with nature and the beautiful, but also outspoken, at times witty and sardonic, drawn to the whimsical and grotesque as well as the idyllic, tough minded in her opinion of others, occasionally in conflict with the adult world. Description and information provided by seller.

Candid manuscript account of a voyage on the Cunard liner R.M.S. Carpathia from New York to Italy and travels in the latter during the spring and summer of 1905 by Anna Van Eps Burdick of New York, in company with her mother, sisters Mary and Katrina, and several other female friends. Burdick's many comments on what she saw are especially important for the light they shed on her own and her group's mindset. Stopping to see Gibralter on their way to Italy, to which they devoted most of their time and the lion's share of this manuscript, they also toured a few Swiss cities after going north through the Dolomites at the end of their vacation. In Italy itself, they began at Palermo, then traveled to Naples, Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri, Posilipo, noting buildings seen, atmosphere sensed, and sights incongruous to them as they toured each. In Rome, Ann Burdick did not much admire St. Peter's, but enjoyed the Barbarini Palace. During a papal audience arranged by an American friend, Burdick kissed the Pope's ring; then, after visiting the English church and cemetary, several other churches and palazzi and their gardens, off they went to Florence to feast upon its many galleries. They next toured Venice and then closed this account with walking the Dolomites, taking long coach ftives through named valleys, and moving on to stays in Zurich and Lucerne, where this party joined the Burdick's father, brother Charles, and some friends.

Series of manuscript travel diaries, the first diary written by Ella M Cram of Keene, Essex County, NY, while she traveled, July 2 to August 11, 1900 from Ashland, NH, to Boston, Fall River, and New York, thence by steamship to England, where she spent much time in London before moving on to Antwerp, Belgium, Brussels, and Paris (where she toured the 1900 Exhibition), after which she returned to Britain, whence she sailed for the United States on the S.S Lucania--the second and third diaries, expanded by her soon thereafter from the first into fuller narratives, one of her entire trip, the other displaying what she had learned of buildings and gardens she toured in Paris and Versailles. As suggested by the quotation printed above as our subhead, Cram was an active questioner; and her diaries combine details she herself discovered, and her opinions, with data well chosen from (we guess) her Cooks brochures and Baedekers. Ella Cram took this trip abroad in the company of one Mrs. CDT, with whom she left Ashland, NH, on July 2 1900, on the 8:20 AM train for Boston, MA where she admired the subway, shopped at R.H. White's department store, took in a variety show at Keith's theater, and admired "New South Station" as she and Mrs. T departed for Fall River. At Fall River they took the steamer Priscilla for New York city. Touing New York on the third, Cram and Mrs. T sailed the next day for England on the American Line's SS St. Louis. In London they stayed at the First Avenue Hotel, Holborn; and Ella soon discloses her interest in all things French by concentrating on macabre relics of the French Revolutions at Madame Tussaud's. Whether in London, Paris, or Versailles, Ella Cram recorded visiting many of her era's major tourist sites (much less so in the other cities she toured). Many of the more enduring buildings, public spaces, artwork, and notable gardens (now seemingly timeless elements of these places--but some of them new when Cram saw them) especially captured her attention--as did the lives of unfortunate royals. But many a passage locates Cram with considerable immediacy in the cities she toured as they existed in 1900. Cram's scribbled endpaper notes, diary entries written currente calamo, and slightly later expansions of the entries most important to her--all work together to tell careful readers a great deal of what travel diaries alone seldom tell us: something of how fully engages tourists' minds work first to note and then to reconstruct their travel experiences.
