Stories and Essays is a collection of works by William Dean Howells, a prominent American writer and literary critic of the late 19th and early 20th century. The book includes a variety of short stories and essays that showcase Howells' keen observations of American society and his unique writing style. The stories range from humorous and lighthearted to serious and thought-provoking, exploring themes such as love, marriage, class, and morality. The essays delve into topics such as literature, politics, and culture, providing insight into Howells' views on the issues of his time. Overall, Stories and Essays offers readers a glimpse into the mind of one of America's most influential literary figures.The much-perverted saying of Moliere, that he took his own where he found it, is perhaps in the consciousness of those who appropriate the things other people have rushed in with before them. But really they seem to need neither excuse nor defence with the impartial public if they are caught in the act of reclaiming their property or despoiling the rash intruder upon their premises.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
