For prosperous Europeans, a journey to America was a fresh alternative to the more familiar Grand Tour of their own continent, promising encounters with a vast, wild landscape, and with people whose culture was similar enough to their own to be intelligible, yet different enough to be interesting. Their observations of America and its inhabitants provide a striking lens on this era of American history, and a fascinating glimpse into how the people of the past perceived one another.In Unspeakable Awfulness, Kenneth D. Rose gathers together a broad selection of the observations made by European travellers to the United States. European visitors remarked upon what they saw as a distinctly American approach to everything from class, politics, and race to language, food, and advertising. Their assessments of the American character continue to echo today, and create a full portrait of late-nineteenth century America as seen through the eyes of its visitors.Including vivid travellers tales and plentiful illustrations, Unspeakable Awfulness is a rich resource that will be useful to students and appeal to anyone interested in travel history and narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931801059616,"sku":"NEW041581765X","price":53.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/unspeakable-awfulness-america-through-the-eyes-of-european-travelers-1865-1900-041581765x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
