Produktinformationen zu „Domestic Manners of the Americans (ePub)“
In 'Domestic Manners of the Americans', Frances Milton Trollope offers an astute and often critical observation of nineteen-century American society through a discerning and arguably satirical lens. Her incisive examination of early 19th-century American habits, culture, and society is not only an important contribution to transatlantic studies but also a testament to the complexities of cultural exchange. Trollope's narrative style combines a genteel elegance with a sharp wit, engaging readers with a blend of anecdotal vignettes and reflective commentary, which situates the work solidly within the tradition of travel literature, yet also as a pioneering work of sociological analysis in its own right. The literary context includes contemporaneous travelogues that often romanticized or idealized American life, a trend Trollope eschews for a more nuanced and, at times, contentious perspective.
Frances Milton Trollope, mother to the renowned Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope, was prompted to write 'Domestic Manners of the Americans' after her disillusioning experience in the United States. Initially traveling to America seeking better fortunes, she instead found ample material for her writing. Her experiences running a bazaar in Cincinnati and encountering various customs and classes provide rich fodder for her detailed observations. Her outsider status afforded her an objective viewpoint, allowing her to scrutinize American norms and mores with an unsentimental clarity that might have eluded native commentators of the period. The author's personal motivations and cultural background frame her narrative in a distinctive light, imbuing it with authenticity and critical acumen.
This new DigiCat Publishing edition of 'Domestic Manners of the Americans' invites the modern reader to appreciate the nuances of early American life as interpreted by Trollope. Academics and enthusiasts of history and culture will find invaluable insights into the societal dynamics of the United States during a transformative period. Furthermore, Trollope's work endures not only because of its historical significance but also due to its engaging prose and timeless observations on human nature and societal norms. This republished classic, carefully rendered in an accessible format, thus remains an essential read for those intrigued by the intersections of culture, criticism, and retrospection.

Autoren-Porträt von Frances Milton Trollope
Frances Milton Trollope (1780-1863) was an English novelist and writer who is best remembered for her travel writing and social novels. Born at Stapleton, near Bristol, she was the daughter of the Reverend William Milton. Her marriage to barrister Thomas Anthony Trollope in 1809 was shadowed by financial difficulties, which partly sparked her literary career in the 1830s. In a bid to rescue her family from poverty, she opened a bazaar in Cincinnati, Ohio, which failed, prompting her return to England. Out of this American venture, however, came her first and perhaps most famous work, 'Domestic Manners of the Americans' (1832), a sharply satirical observation of American life that caused considerable controversy at the time. Her critical and unsparing eye turned towards American society, slavery, and the democratic process, offering a perspective that was both insightful and provocative. Trollope went on to write over 40 books, including other travelogues and novels that often pioneered the examination of social issues. Her works are characterized by their wit, strong female characters, and keenly observed social commentary. It is worth noting that Trollope also influenced her better-known novelist son, Anthony Trollope. Despite her literary accomplishments, she has often been overshadowed in the annals of literary history. Nonetheless, Frances Trollope's contributions as a proto-feminist voice and as a critical observer of nineteenth-century societal mores have earned her a respected place in English literature.
