Description
Résumé:Zigzag Journeys in Europe (1879) by Hezekiah Butterworth, Three Vassar Girls in England (1884) and Witch Winnie in Paris (1897) by Elizabeth Williams Champney are travelogue storybooks, a genre which flourished at the end of the 19th century. As can be expected of works strongly influenced by a literary trend, they offer representations of France and England based on stereotypes, mostly of European origin. These stereotypes reflect a tendency to foster open-minded and peaceful exchanges between the United States, England, and France. As a result, these novels depict pacified countries and a unified territory in which national differences are no longer perceptible.
