Omschrijving

In "William Dean Howells: 27 Novels in One Volume (Illustrated)", readers are invited into the intricate tapestry of American life as depicted through Howells's keen pen. This comprehensive collection encapsulates the author's signature literary realism, characterized by a focus on the nuanced social dynamics of late 19th-century America. Richly illustrated, the volume not only showcases Howells's profound narrative style but also provides contextual insights into the emergent cultural and philosophical currents of his time, such as the tension between materialism and idealism that defined the American experience. William Dean Howells, often hailed as the 'Dean of American Letters', was a pivotal figure in the establishment of realism as a literary movement. His extensive career as a novelist, playwright, and editor helped shape the literary landscape of post-Civil War America. Growing up in a modest background and witnessing the evolving socio-political landscape, Howells's writing reflects his commitment to social critique and the exploration of human psychology, particularly in middle-class life. This illustrated anthology is not only a treasure trove for scholars and enthusiasts of American literature but also an accessible gateway for new readers. Each novel offers a unique perspective on the human condition, making it an indispensable addition to any literary collection. I highly recommend this volume to anyone seeking a rich understanding of American realism and the complexities of its characters.
