First published in 1911, this was the first comprehensive account
of Dickens's trips to the United States in the 1840s and the 1860s.
The author reconstructed many of the contemporary accounts,
reprinted extracts from the reports of the time, and gathered
illustrations of the places Dickens visited. From a collection of
contemporary press clippings this volume seeks to explain the
attitude of the American press and people towards Dickens on the
occasion of his first visit to the United States, as well as to
assist Dickensians to gauge for themselves the justice of his
strictures on the American journalism of the period. "Mr. Wilkins
has performed his task with commendable impartiality, and as a
scrupulously careful narrative of the eventful journey of 1842, and
especially as representing, from the American point of view, the
manner in which 'Boz' at thirty came, saw, and conquered, his book
is a novel and valuable addition to existing literature on
Dickens." "Y Athenaeum This title is cited and recommended by the
Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature.
