American Notes is a fascinating account of nineteenth-century America sketched with Charles Dickens's characteristic wit & charm This Penguin Classics edition is edited with notes & an introduction by Patricia Ingham When Charles Dickens set out for America in 1842 he was the most famous man of his day to travel there
- curious about the revolutionary new civilization that had captured the English imagination His frank & often humorous descriptions cover everything from his comically wretched sea voyage to his sheer astonishment at the magnificence of the Niagara Falls while he also visited hospitals prisons & law courts & found them exemplary But Dickens's opinion of America as a land ruled by money built on slavery with a corrupt press & unsavoury manners provoked a hostile reaction on both sides of the Atlantic American Notes is an illuminating account of a great writer's revelatory encounter with the New World In her introduction Patricia Ingham examines the response the book received when it was published & compares it with similar travel writings of the period & with Dickens's fiction in particular Martin Chuzzlewit This edition
