''Dickens in America'' is a 2005 television documentary following Charles Dickens' travels across the United States in 1842, during which the young journalist penned a travel book, ''American Notes''. In ''Dickens In America'', distinguished British actress Miriam Margolyes, a lifelong fan of Dickens, follows Dickens' 1842 American footsteps while encountering 21st century USA and some of its residents. Interspersing history, travelogue and interviews, ''Dickens In America'' offers insight into Charles Dickens' love/hate relationship with North America and paints a personal and revealing portrait of modern day USA. This 10-part road trip is suffused with optimism, a social conscience and the usual Dickens eye for the comic, the critical and the satirical. ''Dickens In America'' assesses a young radical Dickens' view of the emerging country's manners and morals, its flaws, fashions and its fascination with celebrity. It was produced by Lion Television Scotland for BBC Four. The producer was Richard Shaw. The series was directed by Christopher Swann. ==DVD release== The DVD of the series was released in North America on 1 March 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dickens in America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
