Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

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.

Including several images in various media to help paint a fuller
picture of Howells's time and place. A rich selection of
correspondence to and from Howells, some material from his
notebooks, and a section detailing his changes to two specific
controversial passages from the novel, give a sense of the writer
at work.
