About this book

Essays, sketches and stories by William Dean Howells fill this large collection, whose preface says he never saw much difference between literature and life. Among its essays are The Man of Letters as a Man of Business, Some Anomalies of the Short Story and American Literary Centres, with lighter pieces on a circus, a horse show and the beach at Rockaway. My Literary Passions follows his reading in thirty-five short chapters, from Goldsmith, Cervantes and Scott to Dante and Tolstoy. Criticism and Fiction closes the volume.
