À propos de l'auteur
William Dean Howells (1837–1920) was a prominent American realist author and literary critic. His work offered a detailed portrayal of American life and its dilemmas in the late nineteenth century. Born on March 1, 1837, in Martinsville, now known as Martins Ferry, Ohio, Howells rose from modest beginnings to become an influential figure in the American literary scene. Known for his incisive social commentary and his pursuit of realism, Howells was a prolific writer, with 'Poems' being one of the many contributions to his extensive bibliography. His other noteworthy works include 'The Rise of Silas Lapham' and 'A Modern Instance', which explore themes of social class and moral conflict. Howells served as the editor of the prestigious Atlantic Monthly, where he advocated for new realist writers. His literary style reflected his belief in literature as a vehicle for social inquiry and change, making him a critical voice in the development of American literary realism. Howells was not only a novelist but also a playwright, critic, and autobiographer. His impact on American literature was recognized by his contemporaries, and his friendship with fellow writers Mark Twain and Henry James underscored his integral role in the literary community of his time.
