Henry James 
The American Scene (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Though best known as a novelist, James also wrote non-fiction, including this controversial 1907 account of his 1905-06 American tour.  By 1905 he had lived in England for twenty-five years, and it is as a returning expatriate that James views the country of his birth—and finds much to criticize in its embrace of crass materialism.
