Extractions: William Dean Howells by Solomon Davidoff Born March 1, 1837 in Martin's Ferry, Belmont County, Ohio, William Dean Howells was the second of William Cooper and Mary Dean Howells eight children. His heritage was Welsh, Dutch, German and Irish, leading him to remark on how that may have been why he felt so typically American. His father worked as an editor for various publications, including the 'Hamilton Intelligencer,' the 'Harrison Democrat' and the 'Retina,' as well as working as a toll collector on the Miami and Erie Canal. Howells went on to use his early experiences in Hamilton, where his family moved to in 1840, in his 1890 novel "A Boy's Town." His formal education was slight, taking place in small schoolhouses in southwest Ohio, until he was 12 years old. Most of what he learned was from reading at home and working at his father's print shop. It was many years later that Howells and his contemporary Samuel Clemens compared their experiences working as printer boys in the American frontier. Howells took his early experiences to heart again when he wrote "My Year in a Log Cabin," based on his experiences in Dayton, when his father was working on converting a gristmill to paper manufacture. Howells delivered papers in the mornings and set type at night. Later family moves took Howells to Ashtabula and Jefferson.

He became a reporter for the Ohio State Journal The Cincinnati Gazette , and The Sentinel , contributing poems and reviews to The Atlantic Monthly Venetian Life (1866) and Italian Journey (1867), when published, brought Howells recognition, but his novels, Their Wedding Journey (1872) and The Lady of the Aroostook (1879), were published with little notice. It was A Modern Instance (1882) that turned Howell into a well-respected novelist. The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885) cemented that reputation. Howells wrote over fifty novels, including: The Undiscovered Country A Traveler from Altruria The Day of Their Wedding The Story of a Play Letters Home Editha (1905), and

http://www.storybites.com/Howells.htm

Extractions: William Dean Howells, more often remembered as a critic than a writer, is typically associated with the realist movement in literature, in which a significant amount of emphasis was placed on portraying events accurately. In fact, Howells himself defined good writing realistic writing as the truthful treatment of material. Yet this definition, seemingly simple on the surface, becomes puzzling when we look at Howells fiction, which is scarcely as gritty and in-your-face as todays readers might expect. What Howells seems to have meant by truth was in fact pragmatism, a philosophy that tests the validity of all concepts by their practical results. If it worked, it was true. If it was verifiable and repeatable, it was true. Realism, then, was the language of industry, of the Protestant work ethic, of solid, concrete, common sense. The goal of the realist was the recording of life as it really appeared. This, Howells felt, would make realism the literary language of democracy and the common man. Yet when we compare two of Howells best-known stories, "Editha" and "Christmas Every Day," we may feel we are comparing an antiwar tract with a fantasy, and neither seems to fulfill our expectations of realism. "Editha" is about a young woman whose boyfriend has died in battle, and who sees not the loss and waste but only the glory because, of course, she was not there. "Christmas Every Day" is an amusing little tale, ostensibly aimed at children, about the havoc that would ensue if we actually did observe Christmas three hundred and sixty five days a year; it is a treatise on excess.

At no period in its history did American literary culture have so widely acknowledged a spokesman as in those decades from the 1870s to 1920 when Howells edited literary journals and championed realism in critical essays and the novels he produced at the rate of almost one a year. He discovered and promoted young writers as different as Hamlin Garland, Stephen Crane, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Abraham Cahan. He also created an American readership for such European masters as Émile Zola and Leo Tolstoy and served as valued adviser and friend to Mark Twain and Henry James. Among other things, it was he who suggested a way out of the impasse that had caused Twain to put Huckleberry Finn aside and it was he who published the work of the young James and served as the model for the mature James's characterization of Lambert Strether in The Ambassadors.

Extractions: W. D. Howells produced many novels, stories, plays, and poems in his long life. He served as the editor of Atlantic Monthly and Harper's magazines, and as the "dean" of late 19th-century American literature introduced realism and naturalism, both by his own writings and by encouraging many others from Henry James to Bret Harte and Frank Norris to Mark Twain. He supported socialism and opposed American imperialism. Please visit the William Dean Howells Society web page and join the Society and the HOWELLS-L discussion list.
