Price: $280.00
WILLIAM D. HOWELLS. Printed Poem Signed: "W.D.
Howells," 1p, 6¼x9. Judgment Day. In
full: "Before Him weltered like a shoreless sea/The souls of them that
had not sought to be,/With all their guilt upon them, and they cried,/They that
had sinned from hate and lust and pride,/'Thou that didst make us what we might
become,/Judge us!' The Judge of all the earth was dumb;/But high above them, in
His sovereign place,/He lifted up the pity of His face." In 1860, Howells
published a campaign biography, Life of Lincoln, and was
rewarded by being named U.S. Consul in Venice, Italy (1861-1865).
He was on the editorial staffs of Atlantic Monthly,
Harper's Magazine, and Cosmopolitan and was instrumental
in the careers of Mark Twain, Henry James, Bret Harte, and Stephen Crane,
among others. Printed on an ornately decorated book page. Silked at right edge
on verso as if it were hinged to another sheet. Fine condition.
