Based on a trip taken just short of his thirtieth birthday, American Notes for General Circulation is a dazzling travelogue of Charles Dickens's adventures in North America in 1842.

Travelling from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, St. Louis, Quebec and more, Dickens writes candidly about his time in America. Impressed by the optimism of American society and captivated by its democratic ideals, Dickens was also critical of the rapid growth of industrialism, America's focus on materialism and its participation in slavery. A compelling artefact of nineteenth century America, American Notes for General Circulation is a fascinating snapshot in time from the perspective of a foreign observer. This audiobook is skilfully read by Matt Addis. Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.
