Exploring the consciousness and creative impulse of William Dean
Howells, Professor Vanderbilt finds that Howells' personality
reflected the mixed feelings of the American mind in an ambivalent
and transitional society. By this interpretation he introduces a
new and imaginative approach to the writer and his work, and
Howells emerges as one of the major American literary figures of
the late nineteenth century. The author's impressive research into
all of Howells' works is evident in his discussion of four novels
which appeared in the 1880's, The Undiscovered Country, A Modern
lnstance, The Rise of Silas Lapham, and A Hazard of New Fortunes.
Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the

texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
