The Dodd Family Abroad, Vol. II
Produced by David Widger
"The Dodd Family Abroad, Vol. II" by Charles James Lever is a satirical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the Dodd family and their travels across Europe, offering keen observations on society and culture through the lens of the protagonist, Kenny James Dodd. As they navigate various social intricacies and challenges abroad, the story explores themes of class, personal ambition, and the complexities of family dynamics in a foreign land. The opening of the novel introduces us to Kenny James Dodd's correspondence with his friend Thomas Purcell, revealing a humorous and critical perspective on consular authority, financial concerns, and the absurdities of dealing with the foreign bureaucracy. Dodd shares his daily life in a quaint town by a lakeside, detailing the activities of his family members and the various tensions that arise from financial constraints. As he contemplates his and his family's future, the narrative sets the stage for a journey filled with witty observations and reflections on identity, social status, and the entertaining yet challenging experience of being abroad.
