In 1832, three years before Alexander de Tocqueville published Democracy in America, the English novelist Frances Trollope releasedDomestic Manners of the Americans, an eye-opening record of her travels in the young republic. Expecting a Utopia of "justice and liberty for all," she was shocked to discover the contradictions at the heart of the American character. Funny and fearless, Trollope's biting critique became an international sensation.
