About the Book

Walking-Stick Papers by Robert Cortes Holliday is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century, offering a witty and insightful examination of various aspects of society, culture, and the human experience. Published in 1918, the book is marked by a lighthearted tone and sharp observations, inviting readers to reflect on everyday life through the lens of humor and curiosity. The essays cover a broad range of subjects, from the symbolic significance of canes in history and modern life to the quirky world of art exhibitions and the lively intricacies of urban existence. The opening essay explores the historical and cultural significance of canes, examining their transformation from simple tools to symbols of status and refinement. Holliday's keen sense of observation brings a fresh perspective to these everyday objects, while his writing also touches on the broader themes of dignity and social class. The essays in Walking-Stick Papers celebrate the beauty of ordinary moments, urging readers to appreciate the charm and complexity hidden in daily life.
