Abstract

American Reputations in England
January 18, 1866 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on American reputations in England. To an American coming to England, perhaps nothing gives a greater spiritual jar, nothing more startles him into realizing that he is actually abroad, than the discovery, constantly breaking upon him during the first weeks of his residence here, that, when he sailed away from America, he did indeed sail away from a whole hemisphere of personal authorities and reputations--from the principalities and powers of the literary, political, religious, and social world before which he had loyally bowed from his youth up.
