Hamilton, Ohio, and here the boy's See also:early See also:life was spent successively as type-setter, reporter and editor in the offices of various See also:newspapers
.
In the midst of routine See also:work he contrived to familiarize himself with a wide range of authors in several See also:modern See also:tongues, and to See also:drill himself thoroughly in the use of See also:good See also:English
.
In 1860, as assistant editor of the leading Re-publican newspaper in Ohio, he wrote—in connexion with the Presidential contest—the See also:campaign life of See also:Lincoln; and in the same See also:year he was appointed See also:consul at See also:Venice, where he remained till 1865
.
On his return to See also:America he joined the See also:staff of the See also:Atlantic Monthly, and from 1872 to 1881 he was its editorin-See also:chief

Of Mr Howells's many novels, the following may be mentioned as specially noteworthy: Their See also:Wedding See also:Journey (1872); The See also:Lady of the Aroostook (1879); A Modern Instance (1882); The Rise of See also:Silas Lapham (1885); The See also:Minister's See also:Charge (1886); A See also:Hazard of New Fortunes (1889); The Quality of See also:Mercy (1892); The Landlord at See also:Lion's See also:Head (1897)
.
He also published Poems (1893 and 1886); Stops of Various Quills (1895), a See also:book of See also:verse; books of travel; several amusing farces; and volumes of essays and See also:literary See also:criticism, among others, Literary See also:Friends and Acquaintance (1901), which contains much autobiographical See also:matter, Literature and Life (1902), and English Films (1905)
.
Howells is by See also:general consent the foremost representative of the realistic school of indigenous American fiction
.
From the outset his aim was to portray life with entire fidelity in all its commonplaceness, and yet to See also:charm the reader into a liking for this commonplaceness and into reverence for what it conceals
.
Though in his earliest novels his method was not consistently realistic—he is at times almost as See also:personal and as whimsical as See also:Thackeray—yet his vivid See also:impressionism and his choice of subjects, as well as an occasional explicit protest that " dulness is dear to him," already revealed unmistakably his realistic See also:bias
.
In A Modern Instance (1882) he gained See also:complete command of his method, and began a See also:series of studies of American life that are remarkable for their See also:loyalty to fact, their truth of See also:tone, and their See also:power to reveal, despite their strictly See also:objective method, both the inner springs of American See also:character and the sociological forces that are shaping American See also:civilization
.
He refuses to over-sophisticate or to over-intellectualize his characters, and he is very sparing in his use of psychological See also:analysis
.
He insists on seeing and portraying American life as it exists in and for itself, under its own skies and with its own See also:atmosphere; he does not scrutinize it with See also:foreign comparisons in mind, and thus try to find and to throw into See also:relief unsuspected configurations of See also:surface
.
He keeps his See also:dialogue toned down to almost the See also:pitch of everyday conversation, although he has shown in his See also:comedy sketches how easy a See also:master he is of adroit and witty talk
