Ragged Lady
Ragged Lady – William Dean Howells The heroine of the ‚Ragged Lady‘ is a New England type of young girl – strong, pure, uneducated, loyal, proud; a girl whose head always governs her heart, and whose moral sense permits no confusion in distinguishing right from wrong. She sees and acts, and by her quickness of […]
The Story Of A Play
The Story Of A Play – William Dean Howells ‚The Story of a Play‘ is a pleasing addition to the list of the charming trivialities to which Mr. Howells has chiefly devoted himself in the late years of the 19th century. It now seems a confirmed habit with him to select for treatment some closely […]
An Open-Eyed Conspiracy
An Open-Eyed Conspiracy – William Dean Howells ‚An Open-Eyed Conspiracy‘ is an extremely delightful book, and delightful in a way in which many American writers have long striven, and are still striving to attract, or distract, the attention of their readers, but in which Howells alone can be said to have attained distinction. He represents […]
The Landlord At Lion’s Head
The Landlord At Lion’s Head – William Dean Howells In ‚The Landlord at Lion’s Head‘ Mr. Howells has returned to the New England which he knows so well.

Stories Of Ohio
Stories Of Ohio – William Dean Howells Mr. Howells has in the present volume given his writings the form of a series of historical stories, in which his native State is described and pictured from as remote a period as the geologic ice age.

My Literary Passions
My Literary Passions – William Dean Howells The sort of autobiography of which ‚My Literary Passions‘ is an example is always interesting. Mr. Howells is by no means the first to write upon the theme of „Books Which Have Influenced Me“, but we do not just now think of anyone before him who has made […]
A Traveler From Altruria
A Traveler From Altruria – William Dean Howells Mr. Howells’s ‚A Traveler from Altruria‘ recounts only his social apostle’s acts and experiences at a summer hotel in a mountain village of New England, and includes none of the epistles upon the World’s Fair and the life of New York that his chronicler has recently sent […]
The Coast Of Bohemia
The Coast Of Bohemia – William Dean Howells Mr. Howells has always had a pretty taste in titles, and ‚The Coast of Bohemia‘, by its name alone, brings pleasurable anticipations. Nor are they doomed to disappointment in this instance, for the story is pleasing in all its aspects. The Bohemia upon whose coasts it bids […]
Christmas Every Day (And Other Stories)
Christmas Every Day (And Other Stories) – William Dean Howells There is rare fun and freshness in Mr. W. D. Howells’s. ‚Christmas Every Day, and Other Stories‘, a little volume charming for New Year or Thanksgiving. It is redolent, indeed, of all these, especially of November sweets, when turkey and cranberry sauce crown the board […]
