Omschrijving

A quiet, stubborn light survives the shadows of an age. Between The Dark And The Daylight invites you to walk through late nineteenth century rooms where longing, duty, and identity collide. William Dean Howells crafts a lucid, intimate portrait of a New England family navigating moral conflict, social expectation, and the perception of self. This is American realism in its most lucid form: precise observation, humane wit, and a kinship with ordinary lives that illuminates larger questions about faith, disillusionment, and the pull of progress. The novel's careful structure and emotionally truthful scenes reward both thoughtful reading and lively discussion, making it ideal for college course reading and serious literary study. Historically, Howells's work sits at the heart of gilded age america, offering a window into the era's moral weather and literary ambitions. Its enduring relevance lies in how it unsettles certainty, invites reflection on identity, and shows how family choices echo through a community and a nation. The book's revival by Alpha Editions signals more than a reprint; it is a restoration for today's readers and future generations. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, this edition is a cultural treasure: a meticulously restored text that feels immediate, human, and true to its time. It is a rare chance to own a piece of american realism fiction that resonates in contemporary libraries, classrooms, and personal shelves.
