Howells was a prominent figure in the American literary scene from the 1860s to the 1920s, and his work is often seen as a bridge between the realism of the 19th century and the modernism of the 20th century, earning him the title 'Dean of American Letters'. The essays in this book provide a comprehensive overview of Howells' career, from his early work as a journalist to his later novels and short stories, and offer valuable insights into his writing style, his literary philosophy, and his impact on American literature. Through an examination of various aspects of Howell's work, this book sheds light on the evolution of American realism and its enduring legacy in shaping the American literary landscape.
