| Summary | "Roman Holidays and Others" by William Dean Howells is a collection of travel narratives written during the early 20th century. The work presents a series of vignettes of the author's experiences and observations while traveling through various locations in Italy and its surroundings, offering insights into the cultures, landscapes, and local practices. The opening portion of the book transports readers to Madeira, where the author beautifully captures the island's breathtaking landscapes, combining poetic imagery with personal reflections. Howells describes the ship's arrival in Funchal with vivid descriptions of the scenery, the people uponlanding, and a sense of nostalgic connection to the Latin culture he encounters. His observations extend to the diverse flora, local customs, and interactions with the ship's crew and island inhabitants, establishing a rich tableau of the sights and experiences that characterize his travels. Overall, the beginning sets the tone for a detailed exploration of European locations, blending appreciation for beauty with reflective commentary on culture and society.
