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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eUnspeakable Awfulness\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, creating a full portrait of late-nineteenth century America as seen through the eyes of its visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding vivid travellers’ tales and plentiful illustrations, \u003ci\u003eUnspeakable Awfulness\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich resource that will be useful to students and appeal to anyone interested in travel history and narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608232837356,"sku":"9780415817653","price":91.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415817653-unspeakable-awfulness.jpg?v=1778191796"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kenneth-d-rose.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
