Synopsis

Matthew Lanfear had stopped off, between Genoa and Nice, at San Remo in the interest of a friend who had come over on the steamer with him, and who wished him to test the air before settling there for the winter with an invalid wife. She was one of those neurasthenics who really carry their climate-always a bad one-with them, but she had set her mind on San Remo; and Lanfear was willing to pass a few days in the place making the observations which he felt pretty sure would be adverse.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American novelist, short story writer, critic, editor, playwright, and one of the most influential literary figures in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Often called the "Dean of American Letters," Howells helped define and defend American literary realism, arguing for fiction rooted in ordinary life, social observation, moral complexity, and truthful representation rather than melodrama or romantic excess. As editor of The Atlantic Monthly and later a major critical voice for Harper's Magazine, he championed important writers including Mark Twain, Henry James, Stephen Crane, and many others.Howells's own fiction includes The Rise of Silas Lapham, A Modern Instance, Indian Summer, A Hazard of New Fortunes, and numerous short stories, sketches, plays, and critical essays. His work is especially valuable for readers interested in American realism, literary history, social fiction, moral psychology, and the development of modern American prose. Between the Dark and the Daylight shows another side of Howells: a writer still committed to moral and psychological truth, but willing to move into stranger, more speculative, and more inward forms of storytelling. That makes the collection useful not only for Howells readers, but also for readers tracing the overlap between realism, romance, psychological fiction, and the darker edges of classic American short fiction.
