The American Scene contains Henry James's reflections on his return to America in 1904, after he had lived in Europe for more than twenty years. In unmistakable prose, James is intermitently elegiac and angry.

The Future in America is H.G.Wells's account of his first visit to the United States in 1906. It includes his impressions on meeting Booker T. Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Maxim Gorky.

     
In Pictures from Italy, Charles Dickens records his two years' residence in Italy in 1844, a period in which he wrote The Christmas Carol and gathered material for the Italian scenes of Little Dorrit.

American Notes is Dickens's alternately high-spirited and deeply angry account of his first tour of America in 1842. Though Dickens cut the most extreme sections (they are restored in this edition), the book caused a sensation when it appeared.

     

Anthony Trollope visited the United States in 1861 when the Civil War hung in the balance. Unceasingly energetic, determindly inquisitive, Trollope probed every facet of American life, responding with generosity and insight. North America (2 vols.) presents Trollope's impressions of the country, the war, and the many Americans he met, including Emerson, Irving, and Longfellow.
