Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some New Literary Valuations Mr. Howells´s reputation as a writer is very high. Is it as high as it ought to be? Is he valued at his worth? What is his worth? Is it that of a great writer? If not, wherein is his lack? To consider these questions and attempt an answer to them is the object of the present paper. Let us begin - we need not engage to pursue this course throughout, but let us begin - in the use of a method which we may call the method of exclusion. That is, we will, if my readers agree, enumerate some of those respects in which assuredly Mr. Howells as a writer is not lacking. It is a serious thing to reflect that he is now no longer a young man, that he has even reached an age at which it is sadly safe to assume the greater part of his work in literature to have been already done. This is justly occasion of regret, but it is regret tempered with grateful consciousness that the volume of his production is large, is indeed ample enough for us to be able to say that, at least in affluence of productive power, Mr. Howells does not lack, that in this important respect he is clearly entitled to high rank among men of letters.
