Dickens in America

Work:: Dickens in America (S485435143)

Charles Dickens visited America twice. Oh both occasions his reception was of a kind that no Englishman would know again until The Beatles. 'They carried me through the country on their shoulders..as if I were an idol.' And yet, after his first trip, Dickens would conclude it was 'utterly impossible for any Englishman to live there and be happy.' Here then is the tempestuous love affair between the great novelist and America, told almost entirely in Dicken's own words - compelling, inimitable and extraordinary.
