Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow A systematic visual catalogue Jean-Yves BLAISE Iwona DUDEK Different faces of one ‘idea’ Section three, presents a selection of analogous examples (European public use and commercial buildings) so as to help the reader weigh to which extent the layout of Krakow’s marketplace, as well as its architectures, can be related to other sites. Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.

She is a former editor of Persuasions . “Her inviting you to town is certainly a vast thing in your favour.” Sense and Sensibility 257 3 or 4 families in a Country Village is the very thing to work on. 9 September 1814 I 1788 , holiday in Kent and a dinner with relatives in Sevenoaks, Mr. and Mrs. Austen, Cassandra , and Jane continued on to London where they had been invited to visit Mr. Austen’s sister , Philadelphia Hancock , and her daughter , Eliza de Feuillide , in their lodgings on Orchard Street, in the area of Marylebone that borders Mayfair. Phylly Walter had met the Austens when they dined in Sevenoaks, and writing to her brother James on 23 July 1788, she announced that on that visit she “began an acquaintance with [her ] two fe - male cousins” but that she had not been impressed by her “whimsical and affected” cousin Jane, who was “not at all pretty & very prim” (Le Faye 8 6-88). 1 Cousin Eliza, a spirited and e ffusive letter writer, documents the Austens’ visit to London quite superficially in a letter to Phylly dated 22 August 1788. In one short paragraph , Eliza praises Mr. Austen’s “Looks” and amiability and ends her paragraph enigmatically , or perhaps diplomatically, telling Phylly, “I believe it was your first acquaintance with Cassandra & Jane” (88).
