Between The Dark And The Daylight

William Dean Howells

Between The Dark And The Daylight

Mr. Howells dips into psychological twilight in this volume of short stories. They are queer and creepy without being exactly supernatural. In «Editha» there is a war story of a new kind, although its heroine is the same old, inconsequent and exasperating girl that Mr. Howells has drawn for so many years, he could probably do it with his eyes shut by this time. «It all interested her intensely; she was undergoing a tremendous experience and she was being equal to it!» And so with the egotistic...

Criticism And Fiction

In 'Criticism and Fiction' Mr. Howells gives his ideas of the proper functions of critics, and the lines along which he may be supposed to have written his novels . He considers criticism an entirely contemplative branch of literature; finding in it, seemingly, no creative potentialities . The critic, he thinks, should first consider what the author has tried to do, then examine how he has done it . As to whether or not the thing was worth doing that concerns the author, not the...

Fennel And Rue

A young New York novelist receives a letter from a girl asking for the solution of a serial story he is writing, for she is so ill that she does not believe she will live to finish it. His publishers answer the letter in good faith only to find out that it was all a girlish prank. The vanity wounded author writes her a scathing letter. Later at a Long Island house-party he meets her, as she is the hostess's paid assistant to entertain the guests. The unspoken love story that ensues ends...

Imaginary Interviews

Mr. Howells's philosophy in these Easy Chair essays is distinctly of the inclusive order, and the wide range of subjects treated is indicated by the following titles from the thirty-odd that make up the volume: « The Practices and Precepts of Vaudeville,» «The Superiority of Inferiors,» « Unimportance of Women in Republics,» «The Quality of Boston and the Quantity of New York.» Surely Mr. Howells has taken the earth for his possession; but has he not gone up and down in it for seventy-odd...

Out Of The Question

William Dean Howells

Out Of The Question

"Out of the Question" is an amusing trifle, with just a thread of a plot, about the love of a young society girl for a brave young fellow without any social position other than his brains has gained him; the idea of marriage with him is scouted by herself and friends at first as quite «out of the question.» The charm of the story is in the piquant way in which it is handled, and in its bright, clever dialogue.

My Literary Passions

My Literary Passions

The sort of autobiography of which 'My Literary Passions' is an example is always interesting. Mr. Howells is by no means the first to write upon the theme of «Books Which Have Influenced Me», but we do not just now think of anyone before him who has made it the subject of a whole volume. Mr. Howells has had many «literary passions»– fifty, or thereabouts, to reckon only from the chapter headings—and in not a few cases it is obvious that he has loved not wisely, but too well. What we...
