Résumé
To the nineteenth-century Englishman, America was not unlike Russia or China or Cuba today - a new society, founded on new and revolutionary principles. Charles Dickens was only one of the more famous of those Englishmen who crossed the Atlantic… to see democracy in action. He chronicles his five-month trip around the United States in 1842 and records his adventures as well as his impressions of American schools, prisons and slavery. 2000.
