American Notes  |
| Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) |
By the time Dickens set out for America in 1842, he was already a well known author and celebrity. His illuminating book American Notes is his depiction of the New World, a place with both admirable (well run hospitals, prisons, law courts) and despicable (slavery, unsavoury manners) qualities. When first published, his accounts and opinions incited hostile reactions on both sides of the Atlantic. |

What do you do when you are a young, headstrong woman who wants to lead an independent life during a time when it was taboo? Shunning social convention, Ann Veronica sets forth at aged twenty-one to study in London, freeing herself from the familiar. Beyond the family home, she discovers a world of intellectuals and suffragettes...and falls in love with a married man. But nothing comes for free..... With its feminist overtones, Ann Veronica caused quite a stir when it was first published in 1909. |
