About this book
The book gathers Literary Friends And Acquaintance, Literature And Life and My Literary Passions/Criticism & Fiction, by William Dean Howells. The contents list titles such as Literary Boston As I Knew It, Oliver Wendell Holmes, The White Mr. Longfellow and My Mark Twain, among others. The writer recalls 1860 and says he had been for three years a writer of news paragraphs, book notices and political leaders on a daily paper in an inland city.
The writer says that inwardly he was a poet, with no wish to be anything else, unless in a moment of careless affluence he might so far forget himself as to be a novelist. The writer adds that Mr. Lowell had lately accepted, and had begun to print in the Atlantic Monthly, five or six poems of his. The writer says he seized his advantage of another man's helplessness to read him a poem from his pocket, and that the other advised him where to place it.
