On Writing in America: The Politics, Criticism, and Fiction of William Dean Howells Alex Spare English 4232-001 Professor Mary Klages Upon hearing of an event which has become known as "The Haymarket Incident," a violent outbreak that involved strikers at the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company on May 4, 1886, William Dean Howells felt provoked to respond.1 Whatever personal motives this highly publicized incident sparked in Howells, who was successful novelist and influential critic of the literature and social issues of his time, the strike and subsequent executions of seven of the protesters involved had a trenchant effect on this respected man of letters. Howells illustrated his remorse for what he understood as a profound legal injustice in a letter he wrote to a friend shortly before the hanging of the Haymarket protesters: "It blackens my life. I feel the horror and the shame of the crime which the law is about to commit against justice."2 In fact, many of Howells' colleagues outside the press also defied his radical, socialistic opinions. In one such example, Howells composed a letter to then editor of Harper's Weekly, George W. Curtis, urging his colleague to join his backing of the Haymarket workers, only to receive a diplomatic and tacit denial. Howells encouraged Curtis to look at certain inequities involved in the case, specifically "how that `reasonable doubt' which should have been made to favor the accused was tormented throughout into proof against them."7 Ten days later, however, Harper's Weekly concluded that the denial of the workers' appeal was "universally approved."8 The following month, an account of the Haymarket hangings, presumably written for Harper's by Curtis, asserted that "Law and order must be maintained when revolution threatens."9 It is clear that, whether for political, personal or economic reasons, Curtis chose to ignore Howells' plea.

Entries Publication Data Dedication Advisory Board ... World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder Howells, William Dean , novelist, critic, and editor. Howells's campaign biography Life of Lincoln earned him an appointment from Abraham Lincoln as U.S. consul in Venice, where he lived until 1865 and wrote the first of many travel books, Venetian Life . In 1866 he became a member of the staff of the Atlantic , serving as editor in chief from 1871 until 1881. He exerted a strong influence on the development of realism in American literature, promoting such writers as Henry James and Mark Twain . After 1882 he devoted himself to writing fiction, publishing the realistic novels A Modern Instance and The Rise of Silas Lapham , two of his major achievements. Howells's open denunciation in 1887 of the judicial murder of the Chicago anarchists in the Haymarket affair endangered his career. Asserting that their conviction was based on their political views rather than on evidence of murder, he wrote a famous letter to the New York Tribune just prior to their execution, urging clemency. A prolific writer, Howells published about a hundred books, including novels, plays, criticism, essays, and short stories.

A s yet the cable has given us only a very partial report of Mr. Rudyard Kipling's poem, " The Islanders ," which has been printed in the London Times just in season to catch the emotional British public on its rebound from the strong sensation of the Henley-Stevenson incident, so happily closed by the Saturday Review's treatment of the affair as a case of literary leprosy. It is interesting that it should be again a poet who has stirred that public so deeply, not again by molesting the memory of a fellow-poet, but by wounding the sensibility of his fellow-subjects, who might seem, from the clamor which has reached us simultaneously with the offence, to have felt themselves above reproach in the conduct of the war against the Boers in South Africa. Their remedy is logically the sort of poetic justice which the Saturday Review dealt out to Mr. Henley, and perhaps it will be the

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.

Martins Ferry, Ohio. 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 A Modern Instance (1882) and The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885), he became a leading novelist. In these two books, which are regarded as his major achievements, Howells portrayed with minute detail characters attempting to solve lifelike problems, often arising from social distinctions. His unromantic love story

History Literature Essays Platforms ... Discussion Search Women's History Posters Celebrate Women's History Month. 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
