Overview

DOMESTIC MANNERS OF THE AMERICANS is an 1832 British work by Frances Trollope describing American society and manners. Intended for an English audience, DOMESTIC MANNERS is harshly critical of American society, notably the egalitarianism of the middle class, slavery, and the growing influence of Evangelical Protestantism.

About the Author

Frances Milton Trollope (1779-1863) was an English writer and novelist. She was the mother of Anthony Trollope, the Victorian novelist. In 1827, Trollope and her family moved to the United States where they lived briefly in the Nashoba Utopian community, which soon failed. After a brief time in Cincinnati, the family returned to England, where she began to write. Her first work, DOMESTIC MANNERS OF THE AMERICANS proved moderately successful and launched her career.
