Beschreibungen/Notizen
Kate Keller's engagement with American Notes is a testament to its enduring importance and social value, and, indeed, to the ability of this slim volume to effect social change. [...]more information about the lack of international copyright laws is needed to situate Dickens and his work within a transatlantic nineteenth-century literary scene that found him immensely popular due to the wide availability of pirated editions of his work in America. The travel book lays out a range of pressing social and intellectual concerns, including slavery, disability, education and prison reform, with Dickens's characteristic verve.
