    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 today’s 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.

    http://www.bgsu.edu/departments/acs/1890s/howells/wdhowells.html
    
    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.

    Extractions: Born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, Howells learned the printing trade from his father; later, he worked as a typesetter and as a journalist in Ohio. Following the presidential nominations in 1860, he wrote the campaign biography of Abraham Lincoln . After Lincoln's election, Howells was appointed United States consul in Venice, Italy, in 1861. When he returned to the United States in 1866, he became assistant editor of the literary magazine The Atlantic Monthly; he served as editor in chief from 1871 through 1881. After leaving The Atlantic Monthly, Howells devoted most of the rest of his life to his own writing, achieving a preeminent position in American literature through his realistic fiction and his many works of literary criticism. From 1909 until his death, he was president of the newly formed American Academy of Arts and Letters (see National Institute of Arts and Letters). Howells is known as much for his literary criticism as for his fiction. His critical works include the essay "Novel-Writing and Novel-Reading" (1899) and the books Criticism and Fiction (1891), My Literary Passions (1895), and Literature and Life (1902). More important than his own writing was his use of his literary reputation in support of a diverse group of authors. Howells introduced American audiences to many European realist writers (see Realism), including

How to Use the Forum William Dean Howells by Chrissy Intrabartolo Links to Online Resources Books and Articles William Dean Howells was born on March 1, 1837, in Martin's Ferry, Ohio. He was born to father William Cooper and mother Mary Dean Howells. William Dean Howells moved from town to town throughout his life. This however, did not effect his working capabilities. According to Edwin Cady, Howells could, "set type at six, was a useful hand at nine, and when he was eleven he could sext five thousand erns a day, a man's work" (The Road to Realism 25). During the year 1852, William Dean Howells' father published one of his son's poems in the Ohio State Journal, without his knowledge. Not much longer after that in 1853, Howells' first published fiction appears in the Ashabula Sentinel.
