• Muir, Marcie. Anthony Trollope in Australia. Adelaide: The Wakefield Press, 1949.
• Mullen, Richard. Anthony Trollope: A Victorian in His World. Savannah: Frederic Bell, 1992. Althought it's not true that Trollope was far more centrally influenced by his trips to America than his twenty-years in Ireland and that his travel books are superior to his novels (Mullen also argues, perversely, that the 'real man' is to be found in the travel books), since Mullen believes this he includes much valuable commentary on the travel books.

• Ward, John William. North America, ed. Robert Mason, New York: Penguin, 1968. Unfortunately two-thirds of the original text has been lopped away; this abridgement is just too slender to give the reader a balanced idea of the original book. However, the essay on the text is very good as are the notes.
