About this product
Product Information
A contemporary edition of Dickens's critique of North America. American Notes for General Circulation is not the stereotypical travelogue that readers expected when Dickens returned from his trip to North America. Diana C. Archibald notes in the introduction that while the book scandalized readers after its publication, American Notes for General Circulation has been underutilized in studies of Anglo-American life in the nineteenth century. This is a scholarly edition, annotated and illustrated that addresses the modern reader. Dickens fans and students will find the most balanced approach in the annotations that contextualize the writer's travel impressions, as well as a chronology following Dickens's itinerary chapter by chapter.

Reviews
The editions carefully chosen illustrations, introduction and extensive footnotes provide a valuable context for todays student. We learn about steam travel by boat, which was then new and hazardous, about the rash of American bank failures in 1837 to which the title (notes for general circulation) alludes, and about the difficulties of emigration in the mid-nineteenth century. These historical themes are supplemented by contemporary illustrations of people and places ranging from the Lowell Mill factory girls to Tremont House in Boston to Niagara FallsThe availability of Archibalds new edition provides a useful text to supplement the social and political context of courses in British and American literature. -- Karen Bourrier, Dickens Quarterly
