  • William Dean Howells Bibliography
    W. D. HOWELLS William Dean Howells, author, editor, and critic was born on March 1, 1837 in Martinsville, now Martin’s Ferry, Ohio. The son of a printer, Howells began working as a typesetter and a printer’s apprentice before serving a term as city editor of the Ohio State Journal in 1858. He published poems, stories and reviews in Atlantic Monthly and other magazines, and wrote for the Cincinnati Gazette and The Sentinel. He was awarded the post of U.S. Consul to Venice in 1861 for his service to the Lincoln presidential campaign. After leaving Venice, Howells became assistant editor (1866-1871) and then editor (1871-1888) of the Atlantic Monthly. Although he wrote over a hundred books in various genres, including poems, literary criticism, plays, memoirs, and travel narratives, Howells is best known for his realistic fiction, including A Modern Stance (1881). Howells remained proud of his Ohio roots throughout his life. In the latter part of his career, he drew increasingly on life in Ohio in his autobiographic works (A Boy’s Town, 1890) and his novels (The Kentons, 1903). A staunch critic of racial intolerance, Howells was a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909. William Dean Howells died in New York City on May 11, 1920. MIAMI UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES NOTE: The call numbers also reflect a location of the title.

  • Literary Retrospectives: the 1890S and the Reconstruction of American Literary History
    Literary Retrospectives: The 1890s and the Reconstruction of American Literary History DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karin L. Hooks Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Renker, Advisor Steven S. Fink Andrea N. Williams Copyright by Karin L. Hooks 2012 Abstract This dissertation proposes that the 1890s were critical to the formation of American literature because of their focus on identifying, collecting, and preserving an American literary tradition. Since 1930, when Fred Lewis Pattee claimed that the twentieth century began in the 1890s, a continuing strain in literary criticism has investigated the decade as the birthplace of modernism. In recent years, however, scholars have begun troubling these historical assessments of the era in order to recover a more nuanced understanding of the decade. Building on their work, I study how competing narratives of American literature existed in the 1890s alongside the fin de siècle movement toward literary nationalism. I recover a group of long-lost literary historians who envisioned a more inclusive American literary canon than was eventually adopted in the early years of the twentieth century. I use the term “scenes of negotiation” to refer to discussions of American literature in late nineteenth-century social discourse about the development of a national American literary tradition. More specifically, I argue that these scenes of negotiation can be read as literary history because no fixed narrative of American literature yet existed. These scenes of negotiation make discernible how accounts of literary history emerged at multiple sites, in multiple genres, through multiple agents.

At the same time a spontaneous movement was started to acquire a public collection of his pictures. About eighty paintings and pen drawings were purchased by general subscription, and the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts was founded and empowered to act as custodian. In 1915, 69 black and white illustrations were purchased from Charles Scribner’s Sons, and added to this nucleus. In 1919, 50 pen drawings were secured through the kind offices of Mr. Willard S. Morse. In 1920, 11 vignettes and pen drawings were purchased from Mrs. Howard Pyle. In 1923, upon the completion of the Society’s gallery in the Wilmington Institute Free Library building, Mrs. Charles Copeland, then president of the Society, presented and installed the mural decorations, “The Genus of Art,” by Howard Pyle, which were removed from the original setting in his house, in a specially prepared room at the library.
