"After living abroad for 20 years, Henry James returned to his native America and travelled down the East Coast from Boston to Florida. This a journal describing his feelings on the rediscovery of the New York of his childhood, and the growth of modern commercial America. He muses on Thoreau, Hawthorne and Emerson; in Washington, he finds a cityscape devoid of spiritual symbols; in Richmond, thoughts of the civil war haunt him. Published in 1907, this journal also served as a farewell address to the country James would never live in again." - Penguin Random House

James, Henry. The American Scene.. Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York, 1907.
Price: US$975.00 + shipping
Description: First American edition of James' account of his trip throughout the United States between 1904 and 1905. Octavo, original blue cloth, gilt tooling to the front panel and spine. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise and clamshell box. A nice example. The American Scene is undoubtedly the most controversial and critically discussed of James' travel books for its sharp attack on what James saw as the rampant materialism and frayed social structure of turn-of-the-century America. Covering James' travels throughout the country, the book still has relevance to a number topics which affect the current sociopolitical environment including immigration policy, environmental protection, economic growth, and racial tensions.
