The narrative of Fashion centers around Mr. Tiffany's difficulties, a dry goods merchant who nearly went bankrupt owing to his wife's extravagant spending in order to be regarded as trendy. Mrs. Tiffany used to be a milliner who sold colorful caps and hats at a little shop on Canal Street. Her constant talking in French attempts to imitate European norms, and overall pretentiousness define her. Fashion is not a drama with a strong narrative. Instead, Mowatt is most renowned for her ability to effectively portray individuals that represent the social scene of mid-nineteenth-century New York. Anna Cora Mowatt Ritchie (1819-1870) was an American novelist, dramatist, public reader, actor, and preservationist of French ancestry. This is her most famous work.
