Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Impressions and Experiences, William Dean Howells gathers reflective essays and sketches that transform travel, memory, reading, and social observation into occasions for humane inquiry. The book's prose is characteristically lucid, ironic, and conversational, yet it belongs firmly to the late-nineteenth-century realist project: Howells privileges nuance over sensation, moral perception over melodrama, and the ordinary textures of modern life over romantic excess. Howells, often called the 'Dean of American Letters,' was a novelist, critic, editor, and central advocate of literary realism in the United States. His long editorial career at the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's placed him at the heart of American literary culture, while his friendships with writers such as Mark Twain and Henry James sharpened his attention to national character, social change, and the ethical responsibilities of art. These concerns animate the volume's meditative intelligence. Readers interested in American realism, literary culture, and the essay as a flexible art form will find this book especially rewarding. Impressions and Experiences offers not merely passing observations, but a disciplined record of perception, revealing Howells as both witness and interpreter of his age. 132 pp. Englisch.…
