When Fanny Trollope set sail for America in 1827 with hopes of joining a Utopian community of emancipated slaves, she took with her three of her children and a young French artist, leaving behind her son Anthony, growing debts and a husband going slowly mad from mercury poisoning. But what followed was a tragicomedy of illness, scandal and failed business ventures. Nevertheless, on her return to England Fanny turned her misfortunes into a remarkable book. 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.","brand":"The Folio Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20776158593094,"sku":"2287976","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2287976.jpg?v=1571426966","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/domestic-manners-of-the-americans","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
