Howells William Dean: 313 books

Praised for the masterfully drawn protagonist, Jeff Durgan, The Landlord at Lion’s Head—considered one of Howells’s best novels for its expert characterization—follows Durgin from his impoverished childhood on a New England farm, to his unsuccessful career at Harvard, and finally to success at his fashionable hotel on the old farm’s site.

Howells wrote several captivating travel books, including Italian Journeys, Venetian Life, and Certain Delightful English Towns. Here, he turns his observant and sometimes critical eye to London, presenting a series of sketches of the city as if they were mental movies.

Published in 1893, The Coast of Bohemia features a female art student as its protagonist. The scenery and feel of the book is said to have been inspired by Howells’s early experiences at Pfaff’s, a beer cellar in New York that drew artists, playwrights, and writers.
