The American Scene - Together with Three Essays from Portraits of Places

A collection of the travel writings of Henry James, composed during his trip around the United States in 1904-1905. Easily one of the most controversial and critically discussed travel books, James attacks what he saw as rampant materialism and the broken social structure that was everywhere in the America he travelled through.
