	William Dean Howells
		William Dean Howells, more often remembered as a critic than a writer, is typically associated with the realist movement in literature, in which a significant amount of emphasis was placed on portraying events accurately.
		Howells felt that although the realist focuses his attention on the immediate action and its consequences, this inevitably leads one to project a moral on the story.
		Howells' realism, in short, was not at all what we would consider "realistic" today, and in it we can still see shadows of the romantic idealism that Howells and his literary contemporaries seemed so determined to undermine.

		William Dean Howells, a principal advocate for literary realism in the United States, was born on the first of March, 1837, in the Western Reserve region of Ohio.
		Though Howells would continue to write verse until the end of his life, his experience as a journalist and editor easily persuaded him that mastering prose narrative was the cornerstone of a modern literary career.
		Howells soon recognized, however, that the “International Theme” probably was better left to his friend Henry James, whose deliberate expatriation to Europe assured him a firmer claim on that material.

		Born in Ohio, the son of a printer and country journalist, Howells received his most important schooling in the print shop where he learned the journalist's craft and after hours taught himself German, Italian, and Spanish, shaping his taste by reading in those literatures as well as English and American works.
		Howells supplied continuity to a culture too often fragmented in terms of the East versus the West, elite versus popular tastes, and cosmopolitanism versus nationalism.
		And in the 1900s the naturalists were angered by his contention that although realism entailed the faithful depiction of everyday life, the fictional portrayal of an amoral universe was not justified.
