"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."

-Goodreads (2020)


Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832) is the most widely read work of Frances (Fanny) Milton Trollope. The best-selling travelogue engages the reader with commentary on American life ranging from dress, food, landscape, manners, and more. This work documents her American travels as well as life in burgeoning Cincinnati. At times regarded as controversial, Mark Twain thought differently, "...Mrs. Trollope spoke of this civilization in plain terms-plain and unsugared, but honest and without malice, and without hate." This insight into the early 1800s is a must-read for adventurers and historians alike.
