A great American novel . . . it remains uncannily contemporary. (Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker) Set against a vividly depicted background of fin de siŽcle New York, this novel centers on the conflict between a self-made millionaire and a fervent social revolutionary-a conflict in which a man of goodwill futilely attempts to act as a mediator, only to be forced himself into a crisis of conscience. Here we see William Dean Howells's grasp of the realities of the American experience in an age of emerging social struggle. His absolute determination to fairly represent every point of view is evident throughout this multifaceted work. Both a memorable portrait of an era and a profoundly moving study of human relationships, A Hazard of New Fortunes fully justifies Alfred Kazin's ranking of Howells as the first great domestic novelist of American life. Author Biography: William Dean Howells (1837-1920) began publishing poetry in 1856. In 1865, Howells began working at the Atlantic Monthly. He became editor-in-chief of the magazine, and in this position worked closely with many writers, among them Mark Twain and Henry James, who became his close friends.

William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was born in 1837 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, one of ten children to editor and printer, William Cooper Howells. William´s early education in the printing office led him to a job as a compositor on the ´´Ohio State Journal´´ at age fourteen, and a successful career as an author by his early twenties. His notoriety comes largely from his fifteen years working at ´´The Atlantic Monthly´´ as assistant and chief editor, where he influenced the careers of writers like Mark Twain and Henry James. Howells wrote novels, plays, essays, poems, reviews and travel pieces that touched on every day people and their experiences. A prime example of Howell´s realism is this 1890 novel; it is a psychologically probing reflection on social and personal upheaval in the nineteenth century, which the author considered to be his ´´most vital´´ book. The story interweaves themes, plots and characters in New York City and projects Howells personal attitudes on employers, feminism and marriage, among others.
