William Dean Howells (1837–1920) was a pivotal figure in American literature, widely recognized for his contributions as an author, literary critic, and editor. Known for his realist fiction, Howells' writing marked a departure from the romanticism that had dominated the earlier part of the 19th century, advocating instead for literature that depicted ordinary life and the experiences of everyday people. Throughout his career, Howells penned an impressive array of novels, essays, and poems, in addition to his work with influential publications -- including his role as editor of 'The Atlantic Monthly'. His novels, such as 'The Rise of Silas Lapham' and 'A Hazard of New Fortunes', are considered classics, offering insight into the social and moral issues of his time. The book 'A Belated Guest (from Literary Friends and Acquaintance)', provides a glimpse into the personal side of Howells, revealing his relationships with other literary figures of the period. His literary style is marked by a gentle satire, and a compassionate, almost documentary attention to character and milieu. As a central member of American literary circles, his legacy is not only in his extensive written work but also in his influence on other writers and his promotion of literary realism in the United States.
