The Kentons is a novel written by William Dean Howells that explores the complexities of family relationships and the struggles of everyday life in the late 19th century. The story follows the Kenton family, who are struggling to make ends meet in a small town in Ohio. The father, Henry Kenton, is a struggling farmer who is constantly at odds with his wife, Ellen, over their financial situation. Meanwhile, their daughter, Marcia, is torn between her love for a young man from a wealthy family and her loyalty to her own family. As the family navigates these challenges, they must also confront the changing social and economic landscape of their community, which threatens to upend their way of life. Through nuanced characterizations and vivid descriptions of rural life, Howells offers a poignant and insightful portrait of a family struggling to survive in a rapidly changing world.1902. Howells was an American realist author. He wrote for various magazines including Atlantic Monthly and Harper�������s Magazine. His career blossomed after the publication of his first realist novel, A Modern Instance. The Kentons begins: The Kentons were not rich, but they were certainly richer than the average in the pleasant country town of the Middle West where they had spent nearly their whole married life. As their circumstances had grown easier, they had mellowed more and more in the keeping of their comfortable home, until they hated to leave it even for the short outings, which their children made them take, to Niagara or the Upper Lakes in the hot weather.
