Return to Albion : Americans in England 1760-1940 offers a richly illustrated and highly entertaining account of American expatriates who, over a span of almost two centuries, lived in and left an indelible mark on England. Although such personalities as James McNeill Whistler, Henry James, John James Audubon, T.S. Eliot, and Robert Fulton were born on this side of the Atlantic, most of their creative energies were expended on foreign soil. This elegant and fascinating book is a study of those aspects of British culture which throughout history have lured some Americans from their homeland. Richard Kenin's eloquent portraits and marvelous selection of illustrations (more than 170 paintings, drawings, and photographs, many never before reproduced) illuminate the development of these celebrated artists, writers, inventors, and socialites. - Back cover.
