Nato a Martin’s Ferry, nell’Ohio, nel 1837, intraprese giovanissimo l’attività giornalistica. La pubblicazione di una biografia di Lincoln gli valse, da parte di quest’ultimo, la nomina a console a Venezia, dove rimase dal 1861 al 1865. Rientrato negli Stati Uniti, a Boston, diresse per dieci anni l’«Atlantic Monthly». Nel 1908 fu eletto primo presidente dell’American Academy of Arts and Letters. Morì a New York nel 1920. Scrittore prolifico, Howells, che partecipò attivamente alla vita culturale e sociale del proprio tempo, scrisse poesie e numerosi testi teatrali, nonché più di quaranta romanzi dei quali, oltre L’estate di San Martino, ricordiamo in particolare A Modern Instance e The Rise of Sylas Lapham.

The Man of Letters as a Man of Business. E-book. Formato EPUB William Dean Howells   -  Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019  - 

He can say that, as the thing is, unless he sells his art he cannot live, that society will leave him to starve if he does not hit its fancy in a picture, or a poem, or a statue; and all this is bitterly true. He is, and he must be, only too glad if there is a market for his wares.

Emile Zola. E-book. Formato EPUB William Dean Howells   -  Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019  - 

In these times of electrical movement, the sort of construction in the moral world for which ages were once needed, takes place almost simultaneously with the event to be adjusted in history, and as true a perspective forms itself as any in the past. A few weeks after the death of a poet of such great epical imagination, such great ethical force, as Emile Zola, we may see him as clearly and judge him as fairly as posterity alone was formerly supposed able to see and to judge the heroes that antedated it.

Henry James, Jr.. E-book. Formato EPUB William Dean Howells   -  Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019  - 

The events of Mr. James's life--as we agree to understand events--may be told in a very few words. His race is Irish on his father's side and Scotch on his mother's, to which mingled strains the generalizer may attribute, if he likes, that union of vivid expression and dispassionate analysis which has characterized his work from the first. There are none of those early struggles with poverty, which render the lives of so many distinguished Americans monotonous reading, to record in his case: the cabin hearth-fire did not light him to the youthful pursuit of literature; he had from the start all those advantages which, when they go too far, become limitations.
