Iona Vaughan, Pat McCoy & the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team "As Others See Us: Being the Diary of a Canadian Debutante" by W. H. P. Jarvis is a fictional work crafted in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds through the diary entries of the young protagonist, Elsie Travers, who is experiencing her debut into the society of a bustling Canadian city. The book aims to capture the essence of Canadian life, highlighting the complexities and nuances of social ambition, class dynamics, and personal growth as Elsie navigates her new environment. At the start of the diary, we meet Elsie, a naïve yet enthusiastic girl of eighteen, who has just arrived in the city to spend the winter with her Aunt Mumsie. She expresses her excitement about participating in the social activities of the rich, such as dances and evening parties. However, her observations reveal her fascination with the contrasts of city life compared to her village upbringing, and she grapples with her ambitions to fit in and rise in society. Throughout her reflections, she begins to question the values of social status, focusing on key figures around her, including her aunt, uncle, and various social climbers. This opening portion establishes Elsie’s character and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of societal values, personal identity, and the journey toward maturity.
