But what followed was a tragicomedy of illness, scandal and failed business ventures. Nevertheless, on her return to England Fanny turned her misfortunes into a remarkable book. A masterpiece of nineteenth-century travel-writing, Domestic Manners of the Americans is a vivid and hugely witty satirical account of a nation and was a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eSelected Further Reading\u003cbr\u003eNote on the Text\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDOMESTIC MANNERS OF THE AMERICANS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix A: Unpublished Preface from the Rough Draft of \u003ci\u003eDomestic Manners of the Americans\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix B: Preface to the Fifth Edition of \u003ci\u003eDomestic Manners of the Americans\u003c\/i\u003e (1839)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix C: 'A Fragment' Appended to the Fifth Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49524431126871,"sku":"9780140435610","price":14.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780140435610.jpg?v=1731856746","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/domestic-manners-of-the-americans-penguin-classics-s-9780140435610","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
