About this book
Margret Howth is an 1862 novel by Rebecca Harding Davis (1831-1910), the American writer whose Life in the Iron Mills pioneered literary realism in depicting industrial labour. Set in an Indiana mill, the novel follows its heroine through work, love, and hard economic reality, refusing the sentimental conventions of its day. Davis was a forerunner of American realism a generation before it triumphed. The book is important to the history of the American novel. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
