  • "William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author and literary critic. He wrote his first novel, Their Wedding Journey, in 1871, but his literary reputation really took off with the realist novel A Modern Instance, published in 1882, which describes the decay of a marriage.

  • "You have done nothing more true and complete," wrote Henry James about William Dean Howells's novel The Kentons . Here, Howells follows a Midwestern family as they travel first to New York and then to Holland in order to take the daughter, Ellen, away from an abusive relationship. Along the way they explore the contrasts between their Ohio manners and those of the regions they visit, a familiar theme in Howells's work."
