An unflinching portrait of an unhappy marriage, A Modern Instance examines a couple’s personal conflicts as the effects of commercial progress and rapid changes in social and religious institutions. Howells’s novel ends with the hero barred by his over-scrupulous conscience from marrying the divorced heroine.
