About This Item
1832. TROLLOPE, Mrs. Domestic Manners of the Americans. London: Whittaker, Treacher & Co., 1832. 2nd ed. 2 vols. Illus. with 24 engraved plates. xi, 304 & 303 (1) pp. Bound in old 3/4 leather, a bit rubbed, but a very good set. Published the same year as the first edition. Howes T-357. The British writer Frances Trollope (1779-1863) moved her family to America in 1827, at first to join the utopian Nashoba Commune. The venture was unsuccessful and they returned to Britain in 1831, but this, Trollope's first book, caused quite a stir for its harsh critique of American customs, and its success resolved some of her financial difficulties. In her fifties, therefore, she turned to writing as a career and published more forty books in her lifetime.
Synopsis
Domestic Manners of the Americans is an 1832 travel book by Frances Trollope, which follows her travels through America and her residence in Cincinnati, at the time still a frontier town.
