American Notes is a travelogue by Charles Dickens detailing his trip to North America from January to June, 1842. Whilst there he acted as a critical observer of North American society, almost as if returning a status report on their progress. This can be compared to the style of his Pictures from Italy written four years later, where he wrote far more like a tourist. His American journey was also an inspiration for his novel Martin Chuzzlewit.

About the Author Nobel prize-winning writer Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India, but returned with his parents to England at the age of five. Influenced by experiences in both India and England, Kipling s stories celebrate British imperialism and the experience of the British soldier in India. Amongst Kipling s best-known works are The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, and the poems Mandalay and Gunga Din. Kipling was the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel prize for literature (1907) and was amongst the youngest to receive the award. Kipling died in 1936 and is interred in Poets Corner in Westminster Abbey.

5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Excellent piece of history By Seth Davidson By the time Dickens made his first trip to the U.S., he had already achieved extraordinary fame, having completed The Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop, and Barnaby Rudge. He was 30, and at the peak of his energy, if not yet at the height of his literary powers.American Notes has a few passages that qualify as some of Dickens's very best. It's worth reading just for his account of the Atlantic passage, as the combination of humor, terror, and blunt-trauma reality of sailing across the Atlantic in a wooden ship is one of the finest pieces of nautical writing ever done.American Notes is exactly what the title suggests: a compilation of disconnected observations that are loosely tied together by what is ostensibly a fact finding mission to learn about progressive institutions such as prisons and homes for the handicapped. These jottings come to fruition in a full blown novel when Dickens writes Martin Chuzzlewit.By itself, American Notes is a brilliant journal of how the U.S. appeared to a liberal Englishman in the middle of the 19th Century. Dickens's comments on slavery, on the lives of African-Americans in New York, on the prairie, and on spitting are as interesting and occasionally funny to read today as they must have been 160 years ago. The best thing about American Notes is that you can buy it as part of the 200+ Works of Charles Dickens collection for your Kindle, and sample as much or as little of it as strikes your fancy.
4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Dickens and the Unvarnished America of 1842 By M. PFAUTZ This is Charles Dickens' unvarnished view of America in 1842 when our Revolution was less than 70 years old. For six months he toured the northeastern states, venturing as far west as Cincinnati and south to Richmond, while collecting observations of American folkways that he lampooned in typical Dickens fashion. His descriptions of Washington D.C. and its lawmakers should not be missed and are prescient of what would be Mark Twain's satiric sense. Referencing Washington's street design of boulevards and avenues Dickens related that it was often referred to as the "City of Magnificent Distances", but Dickens thought "City of Magnificent Intentions" might be a better descriptor - perhaps still a figurative portrayal for our time.Dickens pulls no punches in his account of a country mired in the slavery controversy between Free States and Slave States, and additionally describes the dismal situation in American prisons and asylums. For me it was most difficult to assimilate the Slavery chapter which included American newspaper clippings of slave sales and "Runaway Slave" classifieds - truly a sad report on the pre-Civil War United States.Reading this as an historical document I strongly recommend the Kindle version so you can utilize the e-dictionary and Internet as you experience Dickens vivid command of the English language in this remarkable journey.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Comparing America to England in 1850's By Carol One needs to get accustomed to the English and Charles Dickens speech of the 1850's. I found it eye opening of American cities and their beginnings, and of Charles Dickens' opinion of places, compared to England. The boat and train rides would have been tough to endure, The atrocities he saw of the Black Slaves, and his sympathies toward them was, as always to me, appalling. He saw so much in his travels, some were very humorous, but his descriptions were very vivid.
