These two nouvelles mark Howells' plunge into psychological
realism. Their themes-a triangle of tragic agonies with
psychological insights intriguingly proto-Freudian, and a drama of
miscegenation-are anything but the "smiling", lightweight topics to
which Howells has been supposed to have been confined. The maturity
both of their art and of their moral insight lends them an impact
much deeper and more permanent than that of the shriller, more
merely commercial shocking fiction of our day. Edwin H. Cady's
introduction places the books in the context of the development of
Howells' life, work, art, thought, and sensibility. He helps the
reader make immediate contact with the artistic methods and
intentions of the author.
