Book Description
Excerpt from Rambles in Merrie, Merrie England, Vol. 1: Glimpses of Its Castles, Its Cathedrals, Its Abbeys, Its Traditions, and Its Rural Life Ruskin says of art: High art cousis neither in alter. Ing nor improving nature, but in seeking through nature for whatever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure; in loving these, in displaying to the utmost of the painter's power such loveliness as is in them, and directing the thoughts of Others to them by winning art or gentle emphasis. Emerson says of nature: Nature is the incarnation of a thought. And turns to thought again. As ice becomes water and gas. The world is mind precipitated. And the volatile essence is forever escaping again into the state of free thought. Then says Sir john Lubbock: The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we can stay among these things so much the more is snatched from inevitable Time.

A Happy Holiday
Author: Cecilia Morgan
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442692413
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
One of the most revealing things about national character is the way that citizens react to and report on their travels abroad. Oftentimes a tourist's experience with a foreign place says as much about their country of origin as it does about their destination. A Happy Holiday examines the travels of English-speaking Canadian men and women to Britain and Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It describes the experiences of tourists, detailing where they went and their reactions to tourist sites, and draws attention to the centrality of culture and the sensory dimensions of overseas tourism. Among the specific topics explored are travellers' class relationships with people in the tourism industry, impressions of historic landscapes in Britain and Europe, descriptions of imperial spectacles and cultural sights, the use of public spaces, and encounters with fellow tourists and how such encounters either solidified or unsettled national subjectivities. Cecilia Morgan draws our attention to the important ambiguities between empire and nation, and how this relationship was dealt with by tourists in foreign lands. Based on personal letters, diaries, newspapers, and periodicals from across Canada, A Happy Holiday argues that overseas tourism offered people the chance to explore questions of identity during this period, a time in which issues such as gender, nation, and empire were the subject of much public debate and discussion.
