In 1842, Dickens visited America, expecting both a return to Eden and an ideal progressive republic. His disappointment darkened his vision of society and human nature for the remainder of his career. A second tour, in 1867-68, proved no antidote for the first. Using new materials--letters, diaries, and publisher's records--Meckier (English, U. of Kentucky) enumerates the reasons for the failure of Dickens' American tours. Annotation c.
