In this splendidly-illustrated book the renowned Dickens scholar Michael Slater takes us on two Transatlantic journeys with Dickens and in each case brilliantly shows us both the dramatic impact America had upon him and also America's lively response to him.' - Miriam Margolyes. Slater's is arguably the most packed conspectus of the subject now on record ... he ... succeeds both in painting the historical backdrop and in recording Dickens's own pulse-beats as they register the patient's hyper-mania or gloom. Edgar Rosenberg, The Dickensian.
