   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.

   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 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.

    Extractions: Is it true that the sun of a man's mentality touches noon at forty and then begins to wane toward setting? Doctor Osler is charged with saying so. Maybe he said it, maybe he didn't; I don't know which it is. But if he said it, I can point him to a case which proves his rule. Proves it by being an exception to it. To this place I nominate Mr. Howells. I read his VENETIAN DAYS about forty years ago. I compare it with his paper on Machiavelli in a late number of HARPER, and I cannot find that his English has suffered any impairment. For forty years his English has been to me a continual delight and astonishment. In the sustained exhibition of certain great qualitiesclearness, compression, verbal exactness, and unforced and seemingly unconscious felicity of phrasinghe is, in my belief, without his peer in the English-writing world. SUSTAINED. I entrench myself behind that protecting word. There are others who exhibit those great qualities as greatly as he does, but only by intervaled distributions of rich moonlight, with stretches of veiled and dimmer landscape between; whereas Howells's moon sails cloudless skies all night and all the nights. And where does he get the easy and effortless flow of his speech? and its cadenced and undulating rhythm? and its architectural felicities of construction, its graces of expression, its pemmican quality of compression, and all that? Born to him, no doubt. All in shining good order in the beginning, all extraordinary; and all just as shining, just as extraordinary today, after forty years of diligent wear and tear and use. He passed his fortieth year long and long ago; but I think his English of todayhis perfect English, I wish to say can throw down the glove before his English of that antique time and not be afraid.

He is the author of The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885), a novel about a self-made Boston manufacturer and his family and the testing of their values. This novel includes such common and popular ingredients of fiction as a rags-to-riches career, romantic love, and financial emergencies; but it avoids Romantic melodrama and suggests the decent good sense of realistic life that American Realism and Howells did much to encourage.

    Extractions: William Dean Howells Author of well over fifty books, William Dean Howells is regarded as the "father of American realism" in theory and criticism. In practice, however, Howells frequently maintained a few features of romanticism. He was the most influential man of letters in the post civil war period in the United States. Born in small town Ohio, he was considered a Westerner when he first arrived in Boston in 1860, meeting many of the most influential writers of the times, among them Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Russell Lowell (editor-in-chief of the Atlantic ), Dr.Oliver Wendell Holmes and Walt Whitman. His background of printing, journalism, diplomacy (serving as Consul in Venice during the civil war), editor of newspapers, magazines and novels, and finally as a literary critic (and his keen ability to observe American life after returning from Italy) helped to direct his imagination. Howells also read voraciously from an early age, often reading in the original languages. (He spoke fluent German and Italian.) The novels of William Dean Howells were among those rarities in literature: they were both popular with the critics and sold extremely well. Like many writers who enjoy huge popularity, Howells later became regarded as "old-fashioned" and was unfairly and inaccurately criticized as such by influential writers of the early part of this century like H.L.Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. Howells has made a comeback among critics since the nineteen fifties, among others with Lionel Trilling and, most recently, John Updike. Most famous of his thirty four novels are:

    Critical essay on howells and his works.  
    http://www.colorado.edu/English/engl4652/spare.howells.html
    
    Extractions: 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.
