Hardback. April Hopes is a novel written by William Dean Howells, an American realist author, and published in 1888. The story revolves around the life of a young couple, Kendricks and Isabel, who are newly married and living in Boston. Kendricks is a struggling writer who dreams of making it big in the literary world, while Isabel is a socialite who enjoys the finer things in life. The novel explores the challenges that the couple faces as they try to balance their different aspirations and lifestyles.As Kendricks tries to make a name for himself in the literary world, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the commercialization of art and the compromises that he must make to be successful. Meanwhile, Isabel struggles to adapt to her new role as a wife and the expectations that come with it. She also begins to question her own values and desires as she becomes more aware of the social and political issues of the time.Through the characters of Kendricks and Isabel, Howells explores the themes of love, marriage, art, and society. He portrays the conflicts and contradictions of the late 19th century American society, where traditional values were being challenged by new ideas and social movements.Overall, April Hopes is a thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in the late 19th century America. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature, history, and culture.1888. Howells was an American realist author. He wrote for various magazines including Atlantic Monthly and Harper�������s Magazine. His career blossomed after the publication of his first realist novel, A Modern Instance. April Hopes begins: From his place on the floor of the Hemenway Gymnasium Mr. Elbridge G. Mavering looked on at the Class Day gaiety with the advantage which his stature gave him over most people there. Hundreds of these were pretty girls, in a great variety of charming costumes, such as the eclecticism of modern fashion permits, and all sorts of ingenious compromises between walking dress and ball dress. It struck him that the young men on whose arms they hung, in promenading around the long oval within the crowd of stationary spectators, were very much younger than students used to be, whether they wore the dress-coasts of the Seniors or the cutaways of the Juniors and Sophomores; and the young girls themselves did not look so old as he remembered them in his day.
