Excerpt from Reading for Pleasure: Adventures in Reading, Twenty-Fourth Series In 1827 a bustling, wasp-tongued little Englishwoman emigrated to America, hoping to make a fortune for herself and her family in the New World. The moorish-egyptian bazaar She built in Cincinnati was a failure, but the book, Domestic Manners of the Americans, written on her return to England, made Frances Trollope famous on both sides of the Atlantic. The latest and best of its numerous editions has been handsomely published by Knopf. To Mrs. Trollope, America was a crude, barbaric, unlovely land, inhabited by boorish men and bilious females. She was equally af fronted by the dreariness of social life, the incessant spitting of the American male, and the pigs that rooted in the streets Of Cincinnati. And she expressed her opinions with such tart vigor that they were received by American readers with mixed emotions of hilarity and rage. A hundred years have not dimmed the malicious sparkle of Domestic Manners. The reporting was accurate, though the essential spirit of the lusty young democracy eluded the author's doggedly British mind. And the modern reader interested in the past, will find it a fascinating picture Of our adolescent society. By 1861 our domestic manners had greatly improved, and even Mrs. Trollope would have been favorably impressed by Mary Boykin Chesnut, whose Diary From Dixie is a witty and delightful account of Southern life during the Civil War years. Although she was deeply conscious of the tragedy that the war was bringing to her country and her people, she wrote with SO much spirit that the tone of her book is one of gallant courage rather than despair.
