Autograph Letter signed: "W.D. Howells", 1 page, 4¾x6¼.
Boston, 1886 May 7. To "Mr. Woodward". In full: "There
is no uniform edition of my books, which are now in the hands of different
publishers. Yours truly." In 1860, HOWELLS (1837-1920) published a
campaign biography, Life of Lincoln, and was rewarded by being
named U.S. Consul in Venice, Italy (1861-1865). As editor of the "Atlantic
Monthly" (1871-1881), Howells espoused realism over romanticism in literature
and promoted such writers as Mark Twain, Henry James, Bret Harte, Emily
Dickinson and Stephen Crane. His own work included poetry, criticism and
several novels, the best known of which was The Rise of Silas Lapham
(1875). His later books examined social issues such as race relations and
the condition of labor and of women. Lightly creased and soiled. Paper thinned
along ½-inch strip at top verso from prior mounting. Otherwise, fine
condition.
