"American Notes" was the result of the author's five-month trip to
America in 1842. Dickens's travelogue includes the glitter of
Boston; a Broadway swarming with hogs; a gruesome penitentiary in
Philadelphia; Cincinnati, Louisville, and St Louis; railways and
steamboats. Its publication was greeted with dismay: what Dickens
described as 'honest and true' was regarded in America as 'a
compound of egotism, coxcombry and cockneyism', the product of 'the
most coarse, vulgar, impudent and superficial' writer ever to visit
the country.
"Pictures from Italy" is a colourful account of a tour made in
1844.
This collectable series is the most comprehensive illustrated
Dickens available. Each volume includes up to seventy-six early
engravings, many of which appeared in the first editons of these
works. The text is derived from the Charles Dickens Edition,
revised by the author in the 1860s.
