Nathaniel Hawthorne
Book Overview:
These essays, based on Hawthorne’s stay in England from 1853 to 1857 as American Consul in Liverpool.
In these writings, he displays his humor, his empathetic nature, his pride in his country, and sometimes his sharp judgment of others. He shares with us the difficulties of being a consul in the 1850’s, takes us on a tour with him through rural England and Scotland, shows us the splendors of London, and the horrors of the poverty that so many suffered.

Not a bad one by Hawthorne, but not his best. He seemed very grumpy in these sketches. He seems in love with the land but is not too happy about the people. What he says about their women is aweful! No wonder the English critics had a lot to say about this book!
