About the book

William Dean Howells' «The Complete Works» presents a comprehensive compilation of the author's significant contributions to American literature, showcasing his distinctive literary style characterized by realism and keen social observation. Spanning diverse themes, including morality, domestic life, and class issues, Howells meticulously illustrates the complexities of American society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This anthology not only captures the narrative richness of his storytelling but also provides vital context into the sociopolitical landscape of his time, making it an essential text for understanding the evolution of American literary traditions. Howells, often hailed as the «Father of American Realism,» was profoundly influenced by his experiences as a literary critic, playwright, and editor. His advocacy for realism was a departure from the romanticism prevalent in his era, showcasing his commitment to capturing everyday life with honesty and depth. His associations with contemporaneous authors and thinkers, along with his extensive travel, informed his perspectives on American identity, ultimately shaping his literary voice and thematic choices throughout his career. Readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of American life and culture during a pivotal era will find «The Complete Works» an invaluable resource. Howells' insightful explorations of human nature and societal issues render this anthology not only a testament to his literary prowess but also an essential study for scholars and general readers alike who wish to delve into the depths of American realism.
