Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charles Dickens in America The writer, on reading American Notes and Dickens´s letters from America in the volumes of his collected letters and his letters to Forster, printed in the latter´s Life of Charles Dickens, has always been struck with two things: his very severe criticism of the American newspapers in 1842, and his bitterness on the subject of International Copyright. In order to satisfy himself as to the justness of Dickens´s opinions at the time the book and letters were written, he has collected extracts from the newspapers of nearly every city which the Author visited during his first trip to the United States. These were so interesting, as giving the Press-writers´ accounts of the visit, and their opinions of the Author personally, that the collection was further extended to include anything that could be found in print, by American writers, relating to the visit - some written during the time of the visit and some later. Mr. Philip Hone, who was one of the committee which entertained Dickens in New York, kept a diary from 1828 to 1850, which was published in 1889 by Bodd, Mead Co., New York; and "Four Months with Charles Dickens during his First Visit to America: By his Secretary," published in the Atlantic Monthly shortly after Dickens´s death - both contain much interesting matter relating to Dickens´s first visit. One or two private diaries have been discovered containing references to Dickens which have never been published.
