William Dean Howells

    1 maart 1837 – 11 mei 1920

    William Dean Howells was een vooraanstaande figuur van het Amerikaanse realisme, die het leven van gewone Amerikanen onderzocht met een toewijding aan documentaire waarheid en sociaal commentaar in zijn fictie. Als invloedrijke redacteur en criticus steunde Howells actief opkomende schrijvers en vormde hij de literaire smaak van zijn tijd. Zijn romans, gekenmerkt door scherpe observatie en onverschrokken weergaven van de Amerikaanse samenleving, doken in de complexiteit van relaties en de evoluerende aard van ondernemerschap. Howells' nalatenschap ligt in zijn onwrikbare toewijding aan realisme en zijn cruciale rol bij het definiëren en promoten van de Amerikaanse literatuur aan het begin van de 20e eeuw.
