William Dean Howells Knihy
William Dean Howells bol poprednou postavou amerického realizmu, ktorý vo svojej prozaickej tvorbe skúmal životy obyčajných Američanov s dôrazom na dokumentárnu presnosť a sociálnu kritiku. Ako vplyvný redaktor a literárny kritik Howells aktívne presadzoval nových autorov a formoval literárny vkus svojej doby. Jeho diela, charakteristické precíznym pozorovaním a úprimným zobrazením americkej spoločnosti, sa zameriavali na zložitosť medziľudských vzťahov a premenlivú povahu podnikania. Howellsův odkaz spočíva v jeho neochvejnom záväzku k realizmu a jeho kľúčovej úlohe pri definovaní a propagácii americkej literatúry na konci 19. a na začiatku 20. storočia.
