Dickens Charles.
AMERICAN NOTES FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION.
Printed by Bradbury and Evans for Chapman and Hall London: 1850. 1850 pp. xiii 175 Frontis by C. Stanfield. Text foxed. 185 mm. Original quarter leather with marbled boards binding. Spine perished. Boards worn. In January 1842 Charles Dickens set sail for a lecture tour in America accompanied by his wife Catherine and her maid. In America he received a reception reminiscent of those that met mop-headed rock stars of the 1960's. Americans expecting him to be grateful for their warm reception were staggered when this young British goodwill ambassador at a dinner held in his honor in Boston dared to criticize them as copyright pirates. Though crowds began to get a bit angry he did not back down. A week later in Hartford he argued that a native American literature would flourish only when American publishers were compelled by law to pay all writers their due rather than being able to publish the works of any foreign author for free. He argued that it was a bad custom that only served to discourage literary production by American citizens. Before Dickens' visit the American people were generally uninterested in the question of the United States's joining the International Copyright Union. Book newspaper and magazine publishers though were utterly opposed and successfully lobbied against any such move in Congress. Undaunted Dickens circulated a pro-copyright letter which he and a number of other British writers had signed firm in the belief of the righteousness of their cause. Dickens showed great courage but little tact in assailing American public opinion on this vexing matter while the United States was paying him honors worthy of a national liberator. That he had not mentioned this issue in advance meant that his adoring audiences taken by surprise felt chagrined by the criticisms of this obviously mercenary young upstart who had come to their shores to take their money at the theater door and again in the bookshop. The work itself concentrated on his not always positive impressions of American life. Of particularly interest are those aspects of social welfare which he took a reformer's interest in such as the prison system or care for people with disabilities like blindness. He also was lavish in his stinging condemnation of slavery. TRAVEL BX 5. Hardcover. Good. (Printed by Bradbury and Evans for) Chapman and Hall, London: 1850. hardcover

Green cloth toned to light brown at edges and backstrip; spine slightly cocked. Overall a nice copy of Dickens recollections of his first American sojourn. First published in 1842 AMERICAN NOTES was a harsh travel narrative condemning much that Dicken's found wanting in the New World from the state of rail travel to the rather uncouth habit of spitting. Its reception by American critics was quite unfavorable and it gave rise to many parodies by American author's who took umbrage to its tone and content. First Thus. Cloth.

DICKENS Charles 1812 1870 as "Boz".
Amerika
Leipzig: J.J. Weber 1843. 3 volumes in one. 12mo. 5 4/8 x 4 inches. Sectional title-pages. Contemporary half calf gilt marbled paper boards extremities a bit scuffed. Provenance: with the small library label of Wolfgang A. Herz on the front paste-down his sale Important Voyages and Travels 9th December 2009 lot 268. First edition in German of "American Notes for General Circulation" published in 1842 and translated into German by G.A. Moriarth. "American Notes" is based on Dickens's letters to John Forster Maclise Beard Mitton and Fontblanque and his journal. Sailing from Liverpool on 3 January 1842 Dickens visited numerous cities in the United States and Canada including Boston New York Philadelphia Richmond St. Louis Cleveland Niagara Falls Montreal and Quebec before leaving for England from New York City on June 7. Dickens was exhausted by the trip even though he had been greeted with great affection by his readers there and his impressions of America and Americans are not always flattering. The practice of spitting in public was a particular anathema: "The flashes of saliva flew so perpetually and incessantly out of the windows all the way that it looked as though they were ripping open feather-beds and letting the wind dispose of the feathers" quoted in Johnson Charles Dickens 1952 p.396. His disillusionment is evident in his criticisms of slavery the American press and the insanitary conditions of American cities. Leipzig: J.J. Weber, 1843. hardcover
