This first volume in a two-volume biography of William Dean Howells is the story of a series of intermingling lines of growth: the growth of admirable personality, the growth of a great career in letters, the growth of a penetrating mind, of a major command of literary art, of an influence of predominant importance to an age and to its legacy to the present. Because the importance of Howells' life lies in his novels, close attention is paid to his principal writings.
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.
This is a new release of the original 1958 edition.
