Literature William Dean Howells William Dean Howells was born on March 1st, 1837 in Martinsville, Ohio, the son of Mary Dean Howells and William Cooper Howells. His father was both a printer and a publisher, and Howells himself worked as a typesetter and a printer’s apprentice. A self-educated man, Howells studied and read Spanish, French, Latin, and German. He became a reporter for the Ohio State Journal The Cincinnati Gazette , and The Sentinel , contributing poems and reviews to The Atlantic Monthly Venetian Life (1866) and Italian Journey (1867), when published, brought Howells recognition, but his novels, Their Wedding Journey (1872) and The Lady of the Aroostook (1879), were published with little notice. It was A Modern Instance (1882) that turned Howell into a well-respected novelist. The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885) cemented that reputation.

End William Dean Howells W. D. Howells produced many novels, stories, plays, and poems in his long life. He served as the editor of Atlantic Monthly and Harper's magazines, and as the "dean" of late 19th-century American literature introduced realism and naturalism, both by his own writings and by encouraging many others from Henry James to Bret Harte and Frank Norris to Mark Twain. He supported socialism and opposed American imperialism. Please visit the William Dean Howells Society web page and join the Society and the HOWELLS-L discussion list.

Chapter 5: William Dean Howells (1837-1920) The WDH Society Primary Works The Prudishness of the Anglo-Saxon Novel Selected Bibliography 1980-1999 ... Home Page Source: WDH Society A prolific writer, Howells is regarded as "the father of American Realism." Although not an exciting writer, he broke new grounds which led to the achievements of Mark Twain and Henry James. In Howells' view, writing should be "simple, natural, and honest" and should not delve into "romantic exaggeration." His famous definition of the function of a writer indicates his limitations as a Realist writer and of Realism as he conceived of it: "Our novelists, therefore, concern themselves with the more smiling aspects of life, which are the more American, and seek the universal in the individual rather than the social interests."

William Dean Howells (1837-1920) Contributing Editor: John W. Crowley Classroom Issues and Strategies Students are usually unfamiliar with Howells and his central position in nineteenth-century American literature. If they have heard of him at all, they are likely to have picked up the (still) prevailing stereotype: that Howells was a genteel prude whose realism could not possibly be of any interest to contemporary readers. Another problem is that students are not often sensitive to quiet irony in what they read; they are not prepared to hear the subtle nuances in Howells's narrative voiceor to read between the lines in his treatment of sexuality, which he handled with Victorian decorum but did not avoid as a subject. It is useful to tell students about the history of Howells's literary reputation: his contemporary fame, his fall from grace during the 1920s, his currently anomalous position in the canon. Students are usually pleasantly surprised by Howells, in part because his prose is not "difficult" (like James's ) and because they find more complexity than they had expected. It is best to start, perhaps, with the "Editor's Easy Chair" selection, which introduces students to his characteristic tone and prepares them to recognize his use of the dramatic method in the fiction: the apparent (but only apparent) narrative detachment, the embodiment of themes in the characters' dialogue and interactions.
