Produktinformationen "A Hazard of New Fortunes"

A Hazard of New Fortunes (1890) is William Dean Howells's most ambitious novel of American realism, a panoramic study of New York's literary, commercial, and social worlds at the end of the nineteenth century. Centered on Basil March's move from Boston to edit a new magazine, the novel interweaves questions of class conflict, labor unrest, speculative capitalism, immigration, marriage, and moral responsibility. Its style is observant, ironic, and deliberately anti-romantic, placing ordinary speech and social detail at the center of serious art. Howells, long associated with the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's, was both a practitioner and theorist of literary realism. His career as editor, critic, and novelist gave him intimate knowledge of publishing culture, while his ethical concerns drew him toward the social tensions of the Gilded Age. The novel reflects his mature conviction that fiction should examine life truthfully, especially where economic ambition and human sympathy collide. Readers interested in Henry James, Edith Wharton, or the social novel will find A Hazard of New Fortunes indispensable. It is a subtle, humane, and intellectually rich portrait of modern America discovering the costs of its own success.
