The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885) established William Dean Howells's
reputation in the annals of American literature. This collection of
essays, first published in 1991, argues the renewed importance of
Howells's novel for an understanding of literature as a social
force as well as a literary form. In his introduction Donald Pease
recounts the fall and rise of the novel's value in literary
history, outlines the various critical responses to Silas Lapham,
and restores the novel to its social context. The essays that
follow expand on this theme, challenging the accepted views of
literary critics by explicating narrative methods and the genre of
literary realism. Focusing much of its attention on economics of
morality, manners, and pain, as well as the marketplace, the volume
as a whole argues that a relationship exists between Howells's
realism and its socioeconomic context.
