Notes, Their Wedding Journey, by W. D. Howells, 1871, 1887 Reeves states that Howells in other editorial modifications to the diary accounts shows that he was trying to tone down the romantic flowerings, but that Howells was mightily gratified by Longfellow's praise of the romantic touch of the nun's presentation of the rose in the Quebec hospital. Howells, on the contrary, has the true Addisonian touch; hits his mark in the white; and, instead of provoking uproarious laghter strives to evoke that satisfied smile which testifies to the quiet enjoyment of the reader. Howells has a delicacy of touch which does not belong to man. One can scarcely resist the impression that he has had feminine aid and counsel, and that the traitor to her sex has taken delight in revealing the secret of her own attractions, so far at least as she knows it; for Mr. www.ibiblio.org /eldritch/wdh/twjcrit.html   (1106 words)

William Dean Howells   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Born in Ohio, he was rewarded for his biography of Abraham Lincoln, used during the election of 1860, with a consulship in Venice. Howells also wrote plays, criticism, and essays about conteporary literary figures such as Henrik Ibsen and Leo Tolstoy, which helped to establish their reputation in the United States.

Ellen Moody's 'Net Writings and Teaching Howells did not just write social fiction: A Hazard of New Fortunes is about a strike; but Indian Summer is pure romance in the Henry James fashion, about a love affair that occurs in Florence (between an American and European). Trollope did the latter in his short stories, and Howells was not always milk-toast: in fact Howells was a socialist, but he hid it to some extent, or didn't advertise the fact. A vitriolic piece by H. Mencken on Howells was written perhaps 20 years after Howells' death which summed up a whole group of bitter complaints against Victorian prudery, complaisance and inhibition and aimed them at Howells's fiction as containing them all. www.jimandellen.org /gothic/StevensonDreamChapter.html   (2388 words)

American Studies in Britain: The BAAS Newsletter - Issue 80   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Howells' influence on the development of the recovery narrative thus extends to the methodology of Alcoholics Anonymous. A further similarity between Howells' fiction and AA is the use of the illusory equivalence, which in the case of AA is exemplified by the meretricious equivalence drawn between a Jamesian 'Higher Power' and the social amiability of recovering alcoholics. The theme of social and moral reform was continued by Lisa Ganobcsik-Wiliams' paper on 'Intersections of Race and Science in the turn of the century reform literature of Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Pauline Hopkins'. www.baas.ac.uk /resources/asib/asibdets.asp?ordernum=8007&head=8005   (755 words)

Amazon.com: Howells Rise of Silas Lapham (A Norton critical edition): Books: WD HOWELLS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Howells explores a number of significant cultural issues in "Silas Lapham": isolationism, social adaptability, economic solvency among all classes, personal integrity and familial ties, and the relationship between literature and life. Howells' treatment of the social interactions between the industrially rich Laphams and the old moneyed Coreys underscores the difficulty in creating and maintaining a national identity, especially when the people even in one northern city seem so essentially different. The romance story involving the Laphams and Tom Corey is obviously an important element of the story, and Howells does an amazing job of not allowing the romance plot to become as overblown and ludicrously sentimental as the works of fiction he critiques in discussions of novels throughout his own work. www.amazon.com /Howells-Silas-Lapham-Norton-critical/dp/0393044335   (1419 words)
