Synopsis

In an era of unprecedented economic growth in America, Henry Kitchell Webster (1875-1932) was one of the first to set novels and short stories in the world of business and industry. He also sympathetically portrayed the new type of woman who was emerging as the Victorian era waned. His charming, intelligent heroines seek (and usually achieve) not only romance and family, but education, careers, and economic independence.
Webster’s short stories were in constant demand by national magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post and McClure's. His novels (29 under his own name) sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Eleven films were based on his books and screenplays. The New York Times even published Webster’s thoughts on novel-writing. Although Webster’s works date to the Progressive Era and the Jazz Age, the characters, dialogue, and brisk pacing still seem refreshingly modern.
Vol. 1, 1901 to 1912 (334 pp.) includes 10 short stories (2 previously unpublished), "Mrs. Thornborough’s Apology" (performed in Chicago, New Haven and New York in 1912, but never published), 27 letters (previously unpublished), and articles on Webster’s early career from the Saturday Evening Post (1911) and the New York Times (1912).
