A Hazard of New Fortunes
Basil March jumps at the chance to leave his boring job to become the founding editor of a new magazine. But this also means that he must leave comfortable Boston for the confusion and chaos of 1890s New York. As March and his wife try to find a decent place to live, he also struggles to find contributors and readers. The Marches are quickly drawn into the tangled lives of their fellow New Yorkers: a bitter German socialist who lost his hand fighting for the Union in the Civil War, a colonel nostalgic for slavery, Bohemian artists, increasingly desperate workers on strike, a slick publicist, a starchy society family, and a wealthy farmer-turned-speculator who hurts those he loves most.Born in Ohio, William Dean Howells was a highly successful magazine editor before he became a full-time writer. He believed that this midlife novel, which draws on his own family's experiences moving from Boston to New York, was his "most vital work." Mark Twain, whom Howells helped early in his career, called A Hazard of New Fortunes "the exactest & truest portrayal of New York and New York life ever written ... a great book."

My First Visit To New England And Others
My first visit to New England and others from literary friends and acquaintance follows a young writer entering the influential world of New England's literary culture, where personal ambition meets the energy of a region shaped by well-known thinkers. The narrative captures the anticipation of leaving early journalistic work behind and moving toward a place long associated with creative growth. As the journey moves through Portland, Salem, and Boston, the account highlights how landscapes, customs, and shifting community life expand the writer's understanding of American literary identity. Encounters with respected authors create a contrast between youthful aspiration and the self-assured perspectives of established figures, revealing moments of admiration, nervousness, and inspiration. The opening conveys how stepping into a celebrated artistic environment fuels curiosity and reinforces a desire to engage with a tradition built by influential predecessors. Through thoughtful recollection and close observation, the work shows how this first journey becomes a defining moment in shaping the writer's long-term creative direction.

The Collected Stories
Collected Poems by William Dean Howells offers a thoughtful and graceful collection from one of the leading literary figures of 19th-century American realism. Best known for his novels, criticism, and editorial influence, Howells's poetry reveals a quieter, more personal voice-meditative, lyrical, and deeply human. These poems explore themes of love, nature, time, and the shifting rhythms of everyday life, often infused with gentle irony and philosophical reflection. With elegant simplicity and emotional sincerity, this collection uncovers the poetic sensibility of a writer who helped shape the course of American literature, offering readers a new perspective on his enduring legacy.

My Mark Twain
Reminiscences and CriticismsFor more than forty years William Dean Howells counted Mark Twain among his closest friends. Twain's death on April 21, 1910, moved Howells to record his memories of the author. These were published in book form along with Howells' criticism of Mark Twain's work. This is the first new edition of the book since the original printing in 1910.
