Cover of William Dean Howells: Psychological Counter-Current in Recent Fiction (PDF)

Although he was an important novelist, poet and playwright in his own right, William Dean Howells also played a major role in shaping the literary landscape of America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in his capacity as a critic. In this important essay from 1901, Howells holds forth on a then-current crop of novels dealing with social issues.
