Summary "Seven English Cities" by William Dean Howells is a travelogue written during the late 19th century that offers vivid observations and reflections on various English cities. Through descriptive passages, the author draws readers into his explorations of Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York, and other places, capturing the essence of their cultures, landscapes, and histories, while also providing commentary on social conditions. The opening of this work begins in Liverpool, detailing the narrator's impressions upon arrival and his initial experiences in the city. He reflects on the architectural grandeur of St. George's Hall, the throngs of American travelers, and the vibrant scenes of local life. As he journeys through Liverpool, he juxtaposes the city's wealth against its acknowledged poverty, offering insight into the social fabric of the place. The narrator's observations extend to his travels, mingling appreciation for the surrounding beauty with critiques of the contrasts he encounters, setting a reflective tone that characterizes the travelogue as a whole.
