Had better service the first time sitting at the bar.
Went to Carnevor with a few folks from out of town that also had not dined there. We found the food and service to be top notch, and the seating to be comfortable. If you can - get a table by the windows as it can get a bit congested and noisy if seated near the bar. Also be prepared to drop a few dollars. The "seafood fix" appetizer platter was 1st rate, but priced a bit high at $91, as were most items on the menu. Stay away from the toppings and sauces as the dry aged steaks hold up very well on their own. Nice wine selection, but it could use a few additions. Overall - a very nice experience.
This is a delightful place....the food and services were outstanding and the evening perfect....
I'm originally from Missouri, grew up on a cattle farm and am very picky about steak. Needless to say, this was the best steak I've had since living in Milwaukee. We will definitely go back!
Carnevor is my new favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. Amazing food and wine list, and our waiter was incredibly nice and professional. Can't wait to go back.
Rib eye steak was fabulous. I visit many restaurants for steak only and this is in my top 5
There is not much to say except that I truely enjoy coming to Carnevor. The atmosphere, the service, the food are all excellent. The soups...Lobster Bisque and the Carrot Soup were so delicious. Our steaks were perfectly done as well as the Lobster that I had and the Crab Legs my son had were to die for. Everything was so tasty and delicious. It is such a comforting place to enjoy a meal because you know that you will receive the best of everything. It's totally worth it!!!!!
we love coming here, the food is phenomenal. we have always had a great experience every time we have dined here. we will definitely be coming back!!
Great service. Had five people throughout our dinner serving us. Food was spectacular
Carnevor is our new favorite restaurant. Recommended by a friend of ours it did not disappoint. Very nice ambiance, attentive staff and excellent food. Everybody went out of their way to make our celebration special.
The decor and the people watching was very good in this restaurant. The food was great but fot the prices they are charging it better be!
Great service and excellent food. Had the wedge salad and 8 ounce filet. A great meal!
The food was absolutely incredible. Our server was so knowledgeable regarding the menu selection and the different cuts of meet, etc. We shared the rock shrimp as an appetizer and while they were good, the menu indicated that they were marinated and therefore, we did not think they would be deep fried.. they were.. I had a 14 oz Ribeye grown on their own farm.. delicious and I was ecstatic to have that option versus the 20 oz ribeye that is on the menu regularly. It is very pricey but well worth it for a celebration!
i can honestly say this was one of the best new york strips i have ever had in my 25 yrs of life!!! i will definitley be coming back to dine with you all again the server was so professional and great!!
There are a lot of places to choose from when dining in Milwaukee. You can't go wrong with Carnevor. The low lighting makes for an elegant ambience. Although it was a bit more noisy this time than when we were previously here, we could still hold a pleasant conversational tone. No matter what you came here to eat, the menu has enough of a variety to please any diner. And all of it is incredible. Simple, classic seasonings, no extras needed, but offered if you choose. I must say, if you don't like brussel sprouts, try these. They will have even the pickiest eater begging for more! We had enough left over to have a meal the next day.
This is the second time that my girlfriend and I have dined at Carnevor and both experiences were outstanding. The menu is expensive but given the quality of the food it is well worth it. Definitely for special occasions for us at least but, will return again!
This restaurant has some of the best cuisines I've had in Milwaukee.I always enjoy my self,it's my favorite place to eat.
As one who loves to go out for steak, I've found anyone can get their hands on great meat and cook it with excellence. The difference between establishments is a restaurant's level of service and their sides, salads, and appetizers. Carnevor not only had great filet mignon cooked perfectly medium rare with a tasty mushroom-brandy sauce, but the best lobster bisque that I've ever had, with huge chunks of lobster meat throughout. The steak fries and twice-baked potatoes were great. Service was top-notch, with a modern twist to the ambience. Not cheap, but well worth the experience.
My wife and I went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We both ordered the 8oz Filet with melted garlic butter and we both agreed it was one of the best steaks we've ever had! We also had the lobster bisque which was excellent along with the brussel sprouts with bacon (excellent as well). The vodka martinis I had were well done and my wife was very happy with the wine she ordered. / The service was excellent, very pleasant and helpful. While the meal wasn't cheap, it wasn't as much as I have spent at steakhouses in the Chicagoland area. It was a nice find and hope to return there soon!
When I arrived they had not received any communication of my reservation from Open Table. I was frustrated momentarily because I didn't think the resturant would treat us well. They prepared a table within about 10 mins and seated me quickly Everything after the first impression was Outstanding. The entire menu including the various cuts of steak are all extremely amazing
This food is so tasty. The Lobster Bisque was wonderful. Our steaks were savory. Would recommend to all.
I went to Carnevor with my husband on a Saturday night. The steaks were absolutly amazing and the service was just right. The filet and dry-aged NY strip were some of the best we've had. The truffle mashed were an excellent side dish. The only two elements keeping this from being a perfect 5 star rating were that we arrived right on time for our reservation, yet they said they were still setting up our table and we should wait at the bar (I get it, you want me to order a drink). 10 minutes after our reservation time they took us to one of a handful of empty tables already set up. We were also setup fairly close to another table to the point where I bumped elbows with the person next to me so it isn't a quite, romatic type of spot.
Arrived early for pre-dinner cocktails, which were great. They came and got us personally when our reservation time came. Recommended appetizer was delicious. We both got steaks which were perhaps the best we had ever had, and the sides that come family style were both amazing. Love this place, and will be back in the future.
Our steaks were the best I've had-so tender and great flavor.
Had a spectacular dry aged bone in ribeye. Just the right carmelization on the outside - slight crust, and perfect medium rare internally. Very kind service.
An overall good experience but just a few off items that did not allow me to call this five star. Maybe they're trying to fit in with location on a lively street with an active bar scene but that doesn't mean bar staff should be decked out in tattoos and tight black t shirts. Thought we had scored with a prime window seat but the lights from police cars flashing outside was off putting. Although if we hadn't been seated near window I would never have been able to see my menu as room is dark. Everyone in our party ordered steak. Filets, rib eye, and. While we enjoyed our meal we agreed that it was not the best dining experience that any of us had ever had .
I took my husband out to dinner for his Birthday and we took our one year old daughter too. Even though this is a more upscale dining restaurant and we had the only kid there, they made us feel welcomed and at home! The food was Amazing and the service was by far impeccable! They made sure we had everything we needed at all times. I recommend this place to everyone! Our filet, Brussels sprouts and Mac n' cheese was a definite palate pleaser! We will be going again!!
We were served by a pair of Sean's. Or Shawn's? Either way, excellent service. Prompt, friendly, polite. And the third gentleman that brought us our bread and salads and what-not was really bringing his A-game. Remarkably polite and proper (even more so than the Sean's). Carnevor has always been a nice restaurant (one of my girlfriend and I's favorites) but the service I received Monday night really exceeded my expectations - really felt like *fine* dining. Not to imply I've ever had poor service at Carnevor, but the employee's were particularly on-point that Monday night. And obviously the food was great. I had the filet and king crab special. Ate the f--- out of it.
Overall was a great experience. The service could have been a little faster but was made up for in the amazing food steaks were fabulous and the chef also sent out a fable full of deserts with a apology for the wait on our food.
I took my boyfriend here for his birthday.It was amazing service,impressive wine list,and unbelievable food the truffled mashed potatoes are heavenly and the experience was amazing will be going there again for many more special occasions!!!
My husband and I went for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The food was amazing. The service was impeccable. Our server even turned the air conditioning down because she noticed I had put my jacket on. I didn't even ask her. I will admit it was quite pricey but worth it for a special occasion.
Very good food and excellent service, but very expensive for what we are used to. Would highly recommend for that special occasion, but expect to pay.
My husband and I went to this restaurant to celebrate an anniversary. I can honestly say that we've never had such a wonderful dinner or such attentive service. We cannot wait to return!
We went to Carnevor for our anniversary and it was amazing! The food was phenomenal, the service was fantastic, and it was an overall great experience from start to finish. Our waiters were very knowledgable and explained whatever questions we had. I'll definitely be going back!
I dined at Carnivor for the first time last Thursday. I wrote in the "special requests" section of the Open Table reservation page that my family and I were celebrating my sister's birthday (including her name and age). When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a special note printed inside our menus in big bold letters wishing her a happy birthday. Portions were smaller than those at some other steakhouses, but the presentation was exquisite and each meal was served with a variety of vegetables or other small sides. After dinner, we were served two complementary birthday desserts. Overall, the wait staff went out of their way to make our evening special. I have recommended Carnivor to several friends and cannot wait to dine there again.
Kitchen outstanding. Seafood platter appetizer as good as Eddie Martinis. Steaks live up to the hype. Tables of more than 4 seem an afterthought in floor plan. We sat in the back row of the upper deck where it was the lighting was dark, the noise level loud and the wait traffic bumper to bumper. Great for the Brewers, not so much for dinner.
Great service, food and ambiance. Would highly recommend it for special romantic celebrations. Definitely a 5 star restaurant!
If you like steak, this place is definitely your choice.
We were looking for a special place to celebrate a family event. We found the perfect place with Carnevor's. We will definitely make this one of our destinations for an all around outstanding experience.
Upon our arrival we were kindly greeted with the warm feeling as if they were waiting for us. We had a quaint table upstairs and the menu was everything that i had expected and more. They had a birthday greeting for my girlfriend printed on the menu which i thought was a very nice and unexpected surprise. She Loved it! We will most definitely dine here again and again. Randy and Linda
Everything was exceptional... Polite hostesses, our server, Stan, was phenomenal. The food runners were very well mannered and efficient. The crab cake appetizer was delicious. Our steaks were done to perfection. I've eaten at many, many steakhouses over the years, this was hands down the best filet I've ever had. For anyone who is a fan if scallops, I'd definitely recommend pairing the scallops with your steak. Again, best I've ever had. The price point is a little out of my reach to dine here often, but there is no doubt we will be back for special occasions.
This was my first experience, and I would say it was a pure delight. From the time we walked in the door to the time we left, everything was superb. The food was great, especially the steak, potatoes, and brussels sprouts, the lobster was perfect and desert was outstanding. The only thing I felt was average was the ceasar salad.
The atmosphere, lighting, and ambiance all mixed into a fantastic dining experience. The staff was knowledgable & attentive. I had a strip steak, and it was cooked perfectly. The use of Allen Bros steaks is a great choice. The wine list was expansive. I would highly recommend this steak house.
What Carnivor does that most other restaurants don't is they spend the money where it counts. There's no huge signs or flashing lights, they spend their money on the product and it shows. They have the best steak my wife and I have ever had, and great service to compliment it. We've found ourselves being return customers and will continue to do so. Great place, Great food, Great service, GREAT JOB!
Once again we were not disappointed with our dinner at Carnevor! The Kobe steaks were the best yet! We sat at table 5(?) and couldn't have asked for a better waiter. This place is hands down, far and above THE best steakhouse in the Milwaukee area! Can't wait for our next dining opportunity!
I was expecting a pricey menu so wasn't surprised by the prices. Plan on spending at least $100.00 per person and you can get whatever you would want. Wife had the crab legs and loved them. If she could have gotten just them without the steak she would have, but the steaks were superb as well.
Don't get me wrong, the steak was amazing. I chose the dry aged New York and it did not disappoint. But the item I cannot get out of my head is their mashed potatoes with lobster. I truly would come back again simply for those. There is so much more to come back for though; the incredible wait staff, the cocktails, the selection of beers and of course the steak. Our party of 4 celebrated to special life events that we had mentioned at booking and the menu even recognized one of them. Special touches like that make a restaurant great.
Steaks always done to order, to perfection. Truffled mashed potatoes are a must. Stan (waiter) offers the best service you'll find at any restaurant.
My husband loves coming to Carnevor for his birthday! They even wished him a happy birthday in menus and then gave us the printed out menus to take home. The food and service was wonderful just like last year!
This is a really nice place for a date. Some people say it's too dark but for a higher end restaurant setting an intimate mood it's perfect. My wife's med-rare NY Strip was warm pink all the way through, a little more done than it should have been. My rib eye was perfectly med-rare with a red center. Flavor of both was fantastic. The sauces and sides (mac & cheese with blue/pecorino cheese, and roasted asparagus) were excellent and the perfect size for two to share and get a typical better restaurant size side serving. The wine list can be overwhelming but plenty of choices ranging from $50-8000(!)/bottle. I'd go 5 on the food if my wife's steak were done as perfectly as mine. I'd highly recommend it for an intimate dining experience.

Mama mia, Marilyn mania in Italia! TV host Anderson Cooper sending Herald columnist on cruise (VIDEOS)
MORE VIDEO: Marilyn's favorite truck stop; her restaurant tipsMarilyn Hagerty, the Herald columnist, appeared on Anderson Cooper's daytime show "Anderson" Tuesday across the country. A segment appeared on the program, taped last week, showing Marilyn dining at the Crown Restaurant in Manhattan. Anderson Cooper announced near show's end that 'Anderson' was sending her on a 12-day trip for two to Italy.
By: Ryan Bakken, Grand Forks Herald
Next stop for Marilyn Hagerty: Real Italian food.
By real, we mean food made in Italy.
For appearing on "Anderson," Anderson Cooper's morning talk show airing nationally today, the Grand Forks Herald's food critic and a friend will receive a 12-day luxury cruise to Italy.
The cruise is the cherry atop a whirlwind of public attention the last two weeks for the 85-year-old Hagerty, whose March 7 Eatbeat review of the Olive Garden went viral on the Internet.
And, clearly, Hagerty saved her best media bit for last with her entertaining exchange with Cooper, a skilled and personable host.
"It was the highest high of a whole wonderful experience," Marilyn said today. "Anderson Cooper has a way of making you feel at ease, like a friend you can talk to. He's not a stiff shirt, by any means.
"He gave me a big hug afterwards and it didn't seem hooky."
Learning of the cruise atop all of her media scrutiny had her "feeling like I've drank too much," Hagerty told Cooper during the show.
She was featured for about 20 minutes of the one-hour show, which aired locally from 9 to 10 a.m. on KXJB-TV (Channel 4).
Propelling Hagerty to the national stage was her review of Grand Forks' new Olive Garden, a long-awaited restaurant by local residents. Tuesday morning on CBS, the national chain received good and bad publicity.
Marilyn revealed that the manager of the Grand Forks Olive Garden claimed to be "too busy" to meet after her lunch. However, a video clip showed her asking her waiter at NYC's post Crown restaurant: "Is your bread warm, like at the Olive Garden?"
Hagerty's Olive Garden review spread like wildfire across the Internet, starting with naysayers poking fun at reviewing a chain restaurant. Yet, many more rallied to her defense, as Internet views of the review have exceeded 1 million.
Her next job is to select someone to accompany her on the cruise.
"Everyone is now my best friend," she said. "I never knew I had so many friends."
Videos below
A segment appeared on 'Anderson,' taped last week during Hagerty's trip to the Big Apple, showing Marilyn dining at the Crown Restaurant in Manhattan.
Cooper told a surprised Hagerty near show's end that she would receive a 12-day trip for two to Italy; that clip is shown below, as is another clip from the program that aired.
The staff at "Anderson" also taped video clips of the Herald columnist talking about restaurant tips and her favorite truck stop; both are below.

Clark Chapin
Towns represented: Brookfield, Canaan, Cornwall, Goshen, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Milford, North Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Warren, Washington, Winchester.
Website: http://ctsenaterepublicans.com/home-chapin/
State Senator Clark Chapin was elected to his first term in the State Senate in November 2012. Senator Chapin represents the 30th Senate District, which includes the communities of Brookfield, Canaan, Cornwall, Goshen, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Milford, North Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Warren and Winchester.

Senator Chapin previously served six terms as State Representative of the 67th District. During his tenure in state office, Senator Chapin played an instrumental role in the agreement to build a new Litchfield County Courthouse and to renovate the existing historic one. As part of the agreement, Senator Chapin introduced legislation to allow New Milford residents to file civil suits and claims at the Danbury Courthouse and also have the option to file civil suits and claims at the current Litchfield Courthouse and a Bantam Superior Court facility if they wish.
Senator Chapin was also named "Legislator of the Year" by the Connecticut Farm Bureau Association in 2003, 2005 and 2011. In bestowing the award, the association lauded his work on the Environment Committee and commended his experience and knowledge of agricultural issues.
Raised in a family actively involved in local government, Senator Chapin was no stranger to public service prior to his election to the Legislature. In 1995, he was elected to the New Milford Town Council. He was re-elected in 1997 and 1999 and also served as the council's vice-chairman. He resigned from the council in December 2000 to assume his legislative responsibilities.
Senator Chapin attended New Milford public schools, graduating from New Milford High School in 1979. He later earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science and Technology at the University of Rhode Island and recently earned his Master of Science degree in Community Development from Iowa State University. He has been a self-employed carpenter in New Milford since 1988.
Senator Chapin has two sons, Ryan and Michael. He is also the fiance of New Milford Mayor Patricia Murphy.

ALLIANCE--A SWAT team went into a pharmacy in Alliance at 10:30 p.m. MDT and killed the man who had held them at bay during a 14-hour standoff.
Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said the armed man, Andres Gonzalez, was confimed dead around 11:30 p.m. That was about 10 minutes after an explosion was reported at the rear of downtown Thiele Pharmacy, according to the Omaha World Herald.
No police officers were injured in the final battle, Collins said.
KCOW radio reported that SWAT team members fired several rounds of ammunition into the bulding around 10:35 p.m. and four officers then entered building.
Gonzalez, 27, was also known as "Fat Andy" to friends and associates, according to a Bulletin source who asked to remain anonymous.
A shooting at an trailer court preceded the all-day armed standoff. As the Bulletin reported, Andy Gonzalez apparently killed his father.
Two police officers and a State Patrol SWAT officer were shot during the day by the gunman, who was inside pharmacy and gift store at the corner of Third and Box Butte Ave.
A hostage -- pharmacy owner Charles Lierk -- was wounded as he escaped around 4 p.m. MDT. He was taken to the Alliance hospital.
Lierk was held for nearly seven hours.
Gonzalez allegedly walked into the pharmacy around 8:50 a.m. and took Lierk hostage, Nebraska State Patrol Spokeswoman Deb Collins said.
As Alliance police arrived, Officer Kirk Felker, 43, was wounded in the arm during an exchange of gunfire. Felker, a 15-year veteran of the department, underwent surgery for non-life threatening injuries and remains at the Box Butte General Hospital, Collins said.
A state patrol SWAT team arrived around 10:30 a.m., and a SWAT member was wounded when gunfire was exchanged through the door of an adjacent building. Trooper Tim Flick, 37, a 15-year veteran, suffered gunshot wounds to the left side of his body, and is in serious but stable condition.
And, another Alliance police officer suffered a shrapnel wound at the same time. He is Matt Shannon, a five-year veteran of the Alliance Police. He was treated and released from the hospital, Collins said.
The troopers were able to establish phone contact with the suspect and negotiations began.
The Alliance downtown business district and other public places were blocked off and locked down. The town came to a virtual standstill, according to KCOW radio of Alliance.
The Bulletin recieved an unconfirmed report during the standoff that the suspect was involved in a homicide earlier at the Meadows trailer court. His father, Larry Gonzales, 62, was killed, Collins said Wednesday morning.
This is a very complex and involved investigation, said K. J. Hutchinson, Box Butte County Attorney. We continue to work multiple crime scenes and release of information will be subject to the Grand Jury process.
Nebraska law requires a Grand Jury be convened anytime someone dies while in the process of apprehension or in the custody of law enforcement.
I would like to commend everyone involved for their dedication and professionalism during this very dangerous situation, said Colonel David Sankey, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. Our thoughts and prayers are with Trooper Flick, Officers Felker and Shannon, and Mr. Lierk, as well as all of the individuals touched by the tragic events."
The Nebraska State Patrol was assisted by law enforcement officers from the Alliance, Scottsbluff and Chadron Police Departments, Box Butte & Dawes County Sheriffs Offices, Nebraska Game and Parks, Nebraska Brand Committee, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) negotiators. Assistance was also provided by the Alliance Volunteer Fire Department, Nebraska Department of Roads, and the City of Alliance.

All of the Time: Chamakh in Black
11:13am Tuesday 27th August 2013 in Crystal Palace FC By Tom Hughes
I've not seen a better endorsement of Damien Delaney and Julian Speroni's ability to deal with crosses than the appalling fact neither Dean Moxey or Danny Gabbidon won a single aerial challenge during Saturday's game, despite Stoke (who obviously haven't undergone a style revolution) putting in cross after cross after cross aimed at Peter Crouch.
Yes their big man won a couple, and should have scored at one point, but he's nine feet tall so you have to regard some victories in the air for Stoke as granted.
Moxey's positioning is sometimes awful and he's bad in the air, but competent last-ditch slides and enthusiasm going forward mean his strengths outweigh his deficiencies when it comes to highlights reels.
Against the likes of Theo Walcott or Jesus Navas, Moxey will be worryingly exposed.
And don't get me started on Gabbidon. Every time I think I've judged him harshly, he likes to remind me I was probably right all along either by failing to win a header, almost getting caught on the ball, playing a substandard back pass or just looking slow.
However, all this doom and gloom ignores the positives that again filled our performance on Saturday. And there were even more than after the Tottenham game.
I haven't seen Palace play as well as that first half in a long time. Campana, Puncheon and Chamakh adding necessary class and skill to our side, improving our options and creativity.
Chamakh's goal was a thing of moderate beauty (as it's always beautiful to see Ryan Shawcross humiliated and outmuscled).
However, the new boys gradually slumped and tired, and when they tired Stoke took advantage.
Why not pick Johnny Williams to start and use Dwight Gayle to increase vigour as a substitute? Both of the Welshman's sub appearances this year have injected Palace with excitement, energy and trickery, so surely he doesn't have to keep doing that before he's allowed the opportunity to shine for longer than 20 minutes?
Even if out wide isn't his natural position, with our list of winger's injuries at the moment it would be worth a shot, whereas Gayle looks like he'll only work best centrally.
Tonight against Bristol City, Palace will probably field a skeleton side of youth players and outsiders. Regardless, we could really do with a morale-boosting victory to lift the club a bit in time for Saturday's infinitely more important clash against Sunderland.
After Hull and Cardiff both grabbed three points at the weekend it's important we don't get left behind.

The Eames Hang-It-All was originally produced by Tigrett Enterprises, until the company went out of business in 1961. Herman Miller re-introduced the design in 1994, perhaps anticipating the coming MCM mania. You may have a hard time finding a vintage Hang-It-All, but they remain relatively affordable; new ones can be had for under $200. Small space dwellers rejoice!

English Literature (American History Through Literature)
For inhabitants of Britain and the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, the American War of Independence was only two generations past, roughly the same distance in time as the Second World War from those living at the turn of the twenty-first century. It was, in other words, still an active memory within the general culture as well as being an actual memory for the elderly. Furthermore there had been a series of conflicts between these two countries in the early nineteenth century, the most significant of which was the War of 1812 arising out of trade disputes and American anger at the Royal Navy's methods of impressment. These hostilities led to British troops entering Washington and burning the White House to the ground. Heated controversies also erupted over rights to the fur-trading territories of the Pacific Northwest, a saga described in Washington Irving's popular work Astoria; or, Anecdotes of an Enterprise beyond the Rocky Mountains (1836, first published with a slightly different title), and over the boundary between Maine and British Canada. Not only were the cultural fortunes of Britain and the United States closely interwoven in the early nineteenth century, then, but also much mutual antipathy existed between the two nations. As Britain was consolidating its own empire, it was becoming increasingly suspicious of the United States partly because of what it regarded as that nation's anarchic principles of democracy and liberty but also because of U.S. potential to become an imperial competitor, an increasingly significant player on the world stage.
In the 1820s Lord George Gordon Byron (1788824) was still noting how the republican sensibility had migrated west across the Atlantic, upbraiding George III before a celestial court in The Vision of Judgment (1822) in a manner that would have brought smiles to the faces of the Founding Fathers. Indeed Byron's well-known sympathies for American independence induced the London Times to complain on 6 November of 1822 that "Lord Byron, who hates his own countrymen and countrywomen, has a prodigious penchant for the men and women of America." This old spirit of libertarian radicalism, however, was superseded in the early years of the nineteenth century by more romantic forms of patriotic attachment that tended to use transatlantic comparisons in order to emphasize the superiority of the writer's native culture, either American or British. Accounts of travels to North America by English writers became very popular in Britain at this time, and the success of such narratives was predicated upon their predictability, their tendency to reinforce an existing set of national stereotypes or prejudices rather than to discover anything new. Typifying this conservative mentality was Captain Basil Hall (1788844), whose Travels in North America, in the Years 1827 and 1828 (1829) offers a severely critical account of the American political system, although, as Hall himself admitted: "I have often been so much out of humour with the people amongst whom I was wandering, that I have most perversely derived pleasure from meeting things to find fault with" (1:167).
Mocking Americans became something of a national sport for the British at this time, with Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), written by Frances Trollope (1779863), being perhaps the most famous work in this genre. Trollope's narrative is an account of the time she spent between 1827 and 1831 in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she moved with her family in an attempt to reestablish their wealth by selling imported luxury goods after her husband's business in England had failed. Domestic Manners represents America as a land of vulgarity and greed, and it concludes that the "total and universal want of manners" in the United States "is so remarkable, that I was constantly endeavouring to account for it" (pp. 390). The book also achieved a certain political notoriety among liberal circles in Britain by being published on 19 March 1832, three days before the Reform Bill to enlarge enfranchisement had its third and final reading in the House of Commons. Many Tories in England blamed the democratizing impulse of the electoral reformers on the pernicious effects and example of American republicanism, and the liberal Edinburgh Review was not alone in suspecting that Trollope had conspired with her publishers on the timing of her book to make it appear "an express advertisement against the Reform Bill" (July 1832). However this may be, Domestic Manners fits within a tradition of travel writing in the first half of the nineteenth century wherein English writers patronize their American cousins as uncouth upstarts who have failed fully to understand the codes of civilized behavior.
For Charles Dickens (1812870), who well knew Trollope's work and its emphasized objection to New World manners, the more pressing reason for hostility toward America was financial in nature. During the depression of the late 1830s in the United States, many British companies that had invested heavily in America found the value of their state bonds collapsing, with British investors learning to their cost that neither the American federal government nor taxpayers regarded themselves as responsible for the financial affairs of individual states. One of Dickens's complaints about America in The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit (published serially in 1843 and 1844) is that, as its hero tells Elijah Pogram, from "disregarding small obligations" Americans "come in regular course to disregard great ones: and so refuse to pay their debts" (p. 508). This double-dealing is associated by Dickens not only with a personal breach of trust but also with the inherent financial instability of the country: one of Martin's English acquaintances tells the story of "Lummy Ned," a man who emigrated to New York to make his fortune but then "lost it all the day after, in six-and-twenty banks as broke" (pp. 21314). This sense of the United States as a den of financial iniquity would have merged in Dickens's mind with his bitterness regarding the absence of an international copyright agreement, an absence that meant he received no royalties at all from his vast sales in the United States. Indeed he went to America partly to campaign for a change in the law, an issue on which he was supported by Washington Irving and other American authors; but he underestimated the ferocity of the American popular press in defending its territory against what they saw as unjustified levies, particularly levies imposed by that old tax tyrant, Great Britain. Paradoxically, it was the widespread dissemination of Dickens's novels through unauthorized American reprints that brought his huge popularity in the United States during the late 1830s, a popularity he could turn to his financial advantage only through personal appearances and readings. Although the copyright question never surfaces overtly in Dickens's nonfictional American Notes for General Circulation (1842) or in Martin Chuzzlewit, this perception of the United States as a commercial predator is never far from the author's thoughts.
American Notes maps its version of the United States by constant comparison to English affairs, discovering parallels between the two countries all over the East Coasthe effect of Yale, for example, being "very like that of an old cathedral yard in England" (p. 125)ut finding the American West much more difficult to fit into Anglocentric perspectives. The prairies, complains Dickens, do not give the same "sense of freedom and exhilaration which a Scottish heath inspires, or even our English downs" because of their "very flatness and extent, which [leaves] nothing to the imagination" (p. 226). Since the American West appears not to
The negative portrayal of the United States in Martin Chuzzlewit is well known, and indeed the novel is dogmatically and compulsively anti-American in its overall style and structure as well as in those episodes actually set in the United States. The burden of the narrative is to expose what Dickens takes to be the hypocritical discrepancy between "saintly semblances" and corrupt self-interest, a discrepancy that manifests itself on a personal level in the characterization of Pecksniff and on a national level through the inflated American conception of its own destiny in the "Valley of Eden" (p. 347). With the relentless urge to crush self-aggrandizing delusions that typified the English Victorian moralist, Dickens seizes upon the fat target of slavery as a prime instance of the American tendency to preach liberty while practicing oppression, mocking that "air of Freedom which carries death to all tyrants, and can never (under any circumstances worth mentioning) be breathed by slaves" (p. 248). This satirical overthrow of constitutional idealism is conceptualized by the author through iconoclastic imagery, as he describes how the "great American eagle, which is always airing itself sky-high in purest aether . . . tumbles down, with draggled wings into the mud" (p. 485). Associated with this idiom of bathos is a thread running throughout the novel designed to interrogate the supposed primacy of "mind over matter," as the author puts it, and thus to elucidate what he takes to be the intellectual failure of transcendentalism and all its works. Dickens's empiricist perspective ridicules the way "Edeners were 'going' to build a superb establishment for the transaction of their business, and had already got so far as to mark out the site: which is a great way in America" (p. 338).
While the more conservative Dickens was skeptical about the idealist aspects of American culture, in his poetry Arthur Hugh Clough (1819861) approaches transcendentalism much more sympathetically. Although born in England in 1819, Clough spent six years of his childhood in Charleston, South Carolina, after his father had taken the family to the United States in the winter of 1822823. The plan of Clough's father was to circumvent the economic depression that had followed the Napoleonic Wars in Europe by tapping sources of raw cotton in the American South and exporting it back to England. The family did not settle back in England until 1836, and, though Clough himself was sent back to England for his schooling in 1828, he retained early memories of living by the harbor at Charlestonouth Carolina was, of course, then still a slave states well as of three summers when the family sojourned in the milder climate of New York. Clough was nicknamed "Yankee" at Rugby School, and his American childhood also ensured that when he traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts, as an adult in December 1852, Clough was aware in an important sense of returning to the United States rather than encountering that country for the first time. In the 1840s Clough had experienced a tense relationship with the English cultural establishment, resigning his Oxford fellowship in 1848 on the grounds that he felt himself unable in principle to subscribe to the Church of England's Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, a requirement at that time for all Oxford dons. Meanwhile Clough had met and spent some considerable time with Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803882) when the latter visited England in 1848merson, the senior partner by sixteen years, noted in his private journal for 22 December 1848: "'Tis, I think, the most real benefit I have had from my English visit, this genius of Clough (Journals 11:64)nd, after Clough's trials and tribulations in English academe had led him to consider emigration, Emerson was quick to write encouraging him to come to Cambridge and assuring him of a plentiful supply of private tutorial work. Emerson, who was a great admirer of Clough's first major poem, The Bothie of Tober-na-fuosich (1848; later revised and retitled The Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich), blamed the neglect of his friend on the narrow prejudices of English society, and he also hoped that Clough would assist him with "a catechism of details touching England" (1:316) in relation to his own work, English Traits (1856), which he was then writing.
At first Clough was generally enthusiastic about America. He met James Russell Lowell (1819891) and his wife on board the Canada en route to the United States, and in New England he was welcomed into the Emersonian circle, becoming quickly acquainted with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Theodore Parker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Ellery Channing, and others. Clough also developed some important intellectual friendships, particularly with Lowell and with Charles Eliot Norton (1827908), and, even though he soon became weary of Massachusetts and chose to return to England in 1853, these associations were to have significant repercussions for his subsequent literary career. Clough was indebted to Lowell, in particular, for the first publication of his best-known poem, Amours de Voyage, which was written in 1849 but suppressed by the author until Lowell persuaded him to allow it to be published in installments in the new magazine he was editing, the Atlantic Monthly, between February and May 1858.
It is clear from Amours de Voyage that Clough's work is torn between English and American cultural influences and that his poetry involves a shuttling between alternative transatlantic points of view. The poem itself features a hero wandering forlornly through Europe who is unable ultimately to find within himself either human love or religious faith; and it might be described as a poem that interrogates the notion of transcendentalism since there is a debate here between idealism and materialism, between an idea of neoplatonic "affinity," wherein correspondences are predestined, and mere "juxtaposition," wherein all encounters are seen as random and haphazard. Though he generally admired Amours de Voyage, Emerson himself disliked what in a letter to Clough he described as "the baulking end or no end" of the poem, its structural anticlimax whereby the hero Claude and his prospective lover Mary Trevellyn miss each other on their travels; Emerson was appalled that Clough appeared to "waste such power on a broken dream," a sense of disappointment that the American sage deemed "bad enough in life, and inadmissible in poetry" (Clough 2:548). Clough answered indirectly by writing in a letter to Norton that he had "always meant" to organize the poem in this way, and that he "began it with the full intention of its ending so" (2:551). Clough's response here indicates how the English-born poet saw himself not, like Walt Whitman, as Emerson's acolyte or mere follower, but rather as his transatlantic rival and interlocutor.
Such authorial dialogues give only an indication of the extent to which English literature and American literature in the mid-nineteenth century were intellectually intertwined. Anthony Trollope (1815882), son of Frances, wrote his own account of U.S. manners in North America (1862), during the course of which he mentions hearing Emerson lecture in Boston. Although Trollope had feared beforehand "how the star-spangled flag would look when wrapped in a mist of mystic Platonism," he actually found to his surprise that Emerson spoke "with admirable simplicity and truth," being "terse and perspicuous in his sentences, practical in his advice" (p. 223); for this new generation of visitors, the crude stereotypes promulgated by Trollope's mother no longer seemed sufficient. Anthony Trollope also met Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804864) at a dinner in Boston during this visit, and he later wrote a highly perceptive and complimentary critical essay on Hawthorne published in the North American Review in 1879.
Trollope's visit to America took place between August 1861 and May 1862, in the shadow of the American Civil War, which had broken out in April 1861. It is probably true to say that this war was the event that changed the cultural balance of power between Britain and the United States permanently. While Britain maintained an official position of neutrality during this conflict, the sympathies of Trollope himself, like those of other English liberals, lay with the North, even though he was suspicious of what he took to be the fanaticism of New England abolitionists. Elizabeth Gaskell, a friend and correspondent of Charles Eliot Norton, similarly supported the Northern states, as did John Stuart Mill and political advocates of free trade such as Richard Cobden and John Bright. There had been considerable support for the antislavery cause in Britain over the previous two decades, with Frederick Douglass (1818895) garnering much support during his successful tour of Britain between 1845 and 1847; indeed it was actually his English friends, led by Ellen and Anna Richardson of Newcastle, who raised the funds to purchase Douglass's freedom from Hugh Auld of Maryland in 1846. Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811896) was also welcomed enthusiastically by Queen Victoria during a tour of Britain in 1853, when she was presented with a petition containing the signatures of over half a million British women against slavery. This experience later encouraged Stowe to write "A Reply" (1863), addressed to the women of Britain, urging them to raise their voices in protest against the British establishment's tacit support for the Confederacy.
Stowe's wrath was directed not only against open apologists for slavery such as Thomas Carlyle (1795881), but also against Lancashire industrialists protective of their vested interests who did not want to see their profitable cotton trade with the American South disrupted, and the London Times, which supported the social idea of a Southern aristocracy and feared how the emancipation of slaves in the American South might destabilize British colonial interests in the West Indies. The black uprising in Jamaica in October 1865, when nearly five hundred insurrection-ists were massacred by the army on the instructions of Governor E. J. Eyre, seemed to the Times to bear out its fears about "the original savageness of the African blood" (13 November 1865). After 1865 when the United States became in constitutional terms (in however problematic a way) a racially mixed and integrated society, the idea of a natural continuum between different branches of the Anglo-Saxon race on either side of the Atlantic became more difficult to sustain. In addition the reconciliation of the different regions of the United States into one strong federal nation marked a decisive stage in the shift of imperial power from Britain to America. The U.S. population had exceeded that of Britain for the first time in the 1840s, and, though Britain in the late nineteenth century remained strong politically and economically, the rapid growth in communications technologies and other forms of national standardization in America after 1865 led inexorably toward its establishment as the world's leading power.
American writers of the mid-nineteenth century viewed their English counterparts with various degrees of enthusiasm, but in each case there was a strong sense of the two cultures being in dialogue with each other. For Washington Irving (1783859) in The Sketch Book (1819820) and Bracebridge Hall (1822), the English landscape existed in a continuum with its extension westward across the Atlantic, and he portrayed Shakespeare's Stratford-on-Avon as just as much a part of the American heritage as the Hudson River valley represented in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Emerson famously declared in his 1837 address "The American Scholar" that his countrymen had "listened too long to the courtly muses of Europe" (p. 69), but the desire for such cultural independence arose not out of simple hostility toward England but from a desire to associate the spirit of nationalism with a home environment, a desire Emerson shared with William Wordsworth, Thomas Carlyle, and other British romantic writers by whom he was influenced. Emerson first wrote to Carlyle in 1834 expressing his delight that "one living scholar is self-centred & will be true to himself" (Slater, ed., p. 98) and the two men always remained on friendly terms despite Carlyle's complaint in a letter to his brother in 1862 that Emerson seemed to think of himself as "becoming celestial by emancipating Niggers" (Slater, ed., p. 537). "Each of the masters has some puerility," noted Emerson indulgently in his journal, "as Carlyle his pro-slavery whim" (Journals 10:52).
In English Traits, his account of a visit to England in 1847 and 1848, Emerson suggests that the British race has fragmented into two parts, with "her liberals in America, and her conservatives at London" (p. 28). This statement testifies to his sense of the vital genealogical continuities (as well as political differences) between the two nations, something mirrored in Henry David Thoreau's Walden (1854), which similarly draws on and revises conventions of Elizabethan pastoral. Herman Melville (1819891), who was widely read in English literature, particularly that of the Renaissance era, deliberately conceived of Moby-Dick (1851) as a response to John Milton's Paradise Lost, a transgressive narrative in which vengeance is glorified as Captain Ahab unleashes the destructive potential that is implicit, but never fully licensed, in Milton's Satan. Melville is sometimes thought of as a specifically Anglophobic writer because of his involvement with Evert Duyckinck's Young America movement in the late 1840s and the wariness he expresses toward "alien" England in his famous essay "Hawthorne and His Mosses" (1850). In fact, Melville's enthusiasm for this nationalist program was short-lived and all of Melville's works after Moby-Dick treat the English literary inheritance in a respectful if quizzical manner. Melville met with Hawthorne, then serving as American consul in Liverpool, during his visit to Europe in the fall of 1856, and it is odd to think of them walking together on the beach in the unlikely surroundings of Stockport, Lancashire, exchanging views on Calvinist notions of predestination. Hawthorne's own account of English customs, Our Old Home, was published in 1863, and in the manuscripts to his unfinished novel about an American claimant, Hawthorne attempts to reconfigure transatlantically his style of romance, with the story turning upon an estate passing from the English to the American branch of a fictional family.
Since the publication in 1941 of F. O. Matthiessen's seminal work American Renaissance: Art and Expression in the Age of Emerson and Whitman, American literature between 1820 and 1870 has normally been read within a nationalist context, with Emerson and his compeers conventionally said to have forged an independent culture that could stand apart from English models. However, more recent work on the extent to which English literature itself at this time was shaped by imperial and colonial designs has reintroduced the question of how relationships between English and American literature might be understood within a postcolonial framework, where different traditions develop in uneasy parallels. Such an emphasis was anticipated by the England volume of James Fenimore Cooper's (1789851) Gleanings in Europe, an account published in 1837 of a trip he had undertaken nine years earlier. In this work Cooper critiques the British ruling classes by arguing that colonial dependencies are essential to the maintenance of English authoritytherwise "she would sink to a second-rate power in twenty years" (p. 257). He comments also on the general ignorance among the English population about American conditions, recollecting how he talked to a man who insisted that "the winters are too long in America to keep sheep" (p. 254), despite the fact that there were at that time, Cooper says, three and a half million sheep in New York state alone. Paradoxically, though, such misunderstandings create breaches that Cooper welcomes, since he wishes to correct the general American tendency to pay too much heed to English views and thus to free Americans from the "mental dependence created by colonial subserviency" (p. 233).
What is interesting here is the way in which Cooper sees America as engaged in a postcolonial struggle with the specters of British cultural authority. Whereas Emerson's lecture "The American Scholar," also published in 1837, is characteristically abstract, representing freedom and self-determination as philosophical necessities, Cooper's treatise is more attuned to the social and material conditions that brought about increased tensions between Britain and the United States in the early nineteenth century. Cooper mentions the War of 1812 as a lingering source of antipathy between the two countries, and he also remarks on British unease at the growing political power of the United States. If the critical direction of Matthiessen's American Renaissance, drawing its impetus from an imagined organic unity in the native culture, was inspired by the spirit of Emerson, it might not be too much of an exaggeration to suggest that recent accounts of interactions between British and American literature in the nineteenth centuryrom John Carlos Rowe, Susan Manning, and othersave taken their cue more from the method of Cooper, with its emphasis on ways in which the national symbolic forms of the United States were shaped both domestically and internationally by a variety of historical circumstances.

VDOT to Advertise $1.1B in Road Projects
Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will advertise an estimated $1.1 billion in construction and maintenance projects during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2011. The estimated economic impact of the work is 33,900 jobs created or supported, as well as $2.83 billion in economic activity and $282.5 million in taxes that will come back to the state.
"After taking office, I directed VDOT to start authorizing and advertising projects in a more timely and efficient manner, in order to get much needed road projects underway, and traffic moving again," McDonnell said. "In just six months, the agency will have advertised $1.1 billion – half of its annual budget. This will have a positive impact on Virginia's infrastructure and economy. For every $100 million spent on highway maintenance, it is estimated 3,000 jobs are created or supported. By working hard to ensure that VDOT invests all available transportation resources as soon as they become available, and in a manner that has the most benefit to motorists traveling throughout the state, we will greatly improve our transportation system and spur economic growth." The agency has advertised more than 350 projects in the past six months and advertised more than $500 million in work during December, Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton said. State officials cited studies published by the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials, which showed that every $100 million spent on highway construction and maintenance projects adds 3,000 jobs created or supported, $250 million in economic activity and $25 million in taxes that go back to Virginia coffers. |
