Richard Tonsing and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The American Scene" by Henry James is a travel book published in 1907, documenting his 1904-1905 journey through the United States. After decades abroad, James returned to find an America transformed by materialism, immigration, and rapid development. His controversial observations span New York to New England, praising some aspects of prosperity while sharply criticizing social fragmentation, environmental destruction, and economic excess. The book ends with a dark vision of America's future that was deemed too grim for American readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
