Trollope already gained notice with her first book, Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832).
She gave an unfavourable, and in the opinions of America's partisans, an exaggerated account.
Her novel, The Refugee in America (1832), expressed similar views, prompting Catherine Maria Sedgwick to respond that "Mrs. Trollope, though she has told some disagreeable truths, has for the most part caricatured till the resemblance is lost."
She was thought to reflect the disparaging views of American society that were allegedly commonplace at that time among English people of the higher social classes.

Later Trollope wrote further travel works, such as Belgium and Western Germany in 1833 (1834), Paris and the Parisians in 1835 (1836), and Vienna and the Austrians (1838).
Among those with whom she became acquainted in Brussels was the future novelist Anna Harriett Drury.
