Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the 1924 First Edition of "William Dean Howells - A Study" by Oscar W. Firkins. It was published by Harvard University Press. A handsome large octavo hardcover, the book is graced by a photogravure frontispiece portrait of Howells. The book has a generous Bibliography (of cou…rse, only up to 1924), and is now out of print (OP). William Dean Howells (1837 - 1920) was a realist novelist, literary critic and editor of "The Atlantic Monthly". He was a prolific writer, and was dubbed "The Dean of American Letters". Today he is best remembered for the novels, "A Modern Instance" (1882), "The Rise of Silas Lapham" (1885), and "A Hazard of New Fortunes" (1889) . He knew many of the literary lights of his day, and was close friends with several, including Mark Twain, William James, Henry James, and Henry Adams. He was effective in nurturing new authors, such as Stephen Crane, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Frank Norris, Harold Frederic, and Sarah Orne Jewett. An excellent translator, Howells helped, through his criticism and essays, to establish the reputation of foreign authors in America, including Leo Tolstoy, Henrik Ibsen, and Emile Zola. He was a staunch champion of social justice. TITLE : William Dean Howells - A Study AUTHOR : Oscar W.
