LOCAL COLOR 19th-century Regional Writing in the United States William Dean Howells Born in the midwest, he nonethless became one of the most popular among the literary spokespeople of the Northeast. Very soon I'll be adding other photos, a biographical sketch and a clickable list of materials so that you can read his work to your heart's delight. For example, he wrote a sketch about walking through New York's east side , an image which you can compare with Abraham Cahan's image of New York. In one of his early works, Their Wedding Journey , he vividly sketches the streets of New York from the eyes of two adventuring newly-weds from Boston: ...continue reading an illustrated version of Their Wedding Journey...

William Dean Howells (1837-1920) Contributing Editor: John W. Crowley Classroom Issues and Strategies Students are usually unfamiliar with Howells and his central position in nineteenth-century American literature. If they have heard of him at all, they are likely to have picked up the (still) prevailing stereotype: that Howells was a genteel prude whose realism could not possibly be of any interest to contemporary readers. Another problem is that students are not often sensitive to quiet irony in what they read; they are not prepared to hear the subtle nuances in Howells's narrative voiceor to read between the lines in his treatment of sexuality, which he handled with Victorian decorum but did not avoid as a subject. It is useful to tell students about the history of Howells's literary reputation: his contemporary fame, his fall from grace during the 1920s, his currently anomalous position in the canon. Students are usually pleasantly surprised by Howells, in part because his prose is not "difficult" (like James's ) and because they find more complexity than they had expected. It is best to start, perhaps, with the "Editor's Easy Chair" selection, which introduces students to his characteristic tone and prepares them to recognize his use of the dramatic method in the fiction: the apparent (but only apparent) narrative detachment, the embodiment of themes in the characters' dialogue and interactions.

Next> End Return to the Howells Society Home Page The Shadow of a Dream By William Dean Howells Contents Faulkner Hermia Nevil A Note on the Text As copy-text we use the Harper and Brothers 1890 edition. We have not modernized spelling or punctuation, but we have not attempted to render exactly the same paragraph and other text formatting. We use the double hyphen in place of the em dash. We found few differences between these editions, but the Howells Edition text follows the magazine text, published in Harper's Monthly , March, April, and May, 1890. Significantly, Howells toned down a physical description of Hermia from the magazine text to the book text. He had said in the serial text: "an undulating walk, and he doesn't tilt his head a little on one side as if it were a heavy rose; and he hasn't got a complexion of russet crimsoned; and his hair isn't thick and dull black and fuffy over the forehead; and he isn't round and strong and firm." In the book this was replaced by a less overtly sexual description , which tends to alter the reader's impression of motives in the book. We have silently followed a number of other emendations suggested by the Howells Edition. The Marches were introducted as characters in Howells's first novel

History Literature Essays Platforms ... Discussion Search Women's History Month Resources Anti-Imperialist Writings by William Dean Howells By Jim Zwick Photograph of William Dean Howells D uring their lifetimes, Mark Twain and William Dean Howells (1837-1920) were closely linked when their anti-imperialist writings were considered. In a 1903 tract, The Principles of the Founders , Edwin D. Mead, the prominent Boston-based anti-imperialist, peace advocate, and cousin of Howells's wife, highlighted the two writers as representing literary anti-imperialism outside of Massachusetts. This was natural. Arguably the two most prominent and influential literary figures of their time, Howells and Twain were close friends, and they frequently discussed imperialism and the war in the Philippines in private talks and correspondence. Howells's association with the anti-imperialist movement began as early as April of 1898 when he joined Bolton Hall , Henry Codman Potter, Ernest H. Crosby Josephine Shaw Lowell and others in " A Peace Appeal to Labor " against the Spanish-American War. In October of the following year, stating that he was "heart and soul" with the organization, Howells joined Hall, Crosby

Both in his own novels and in his critical writing, Howells was a champion of realism in American literature. His education was gained by voracious reading as he worked for his father, a town printer in various small towns in Ohio. Howells early turned to writing and to editorial work on the Ohio State Journal Venetian Life (1866) and Italian Journey (1867), brought recognition. After his return to the United States in 1865, he worked for various periodicals; he was associated with the Atlantic Monthly Harper's Magazine. His first novels, Their Wedding Journey The Lady of the Aroostook (1879), and others, were moralistic comedies of manners that aroused only mild interest. However, when he turned to realism with
