Literary Friends and Acquaintance: A Personal Retrospect of American Authorship is a book written by William Dean Howells, an American novelist, literary critic, and editor. The book is a collection of essays that provide a personal account of Howells' relationships with some of the most prominent American authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Mark Twain, Henry James, and Walt Whitman. In the book, Howells offers insights into the personalities, writing styles, and literary contributions of these authors, as well as anecdotes and personal reflections on his interactions with them. He also discusses the literary landscape of the time, including the emergence of realism and naturalism in American literature, and the impact of new technologies such as the typewriter and the telephone on the writing process.Overall, Literary Friends and Acquaintance is a fascinating glimpse into the world of American literature during a period of great change and innovation, as seen through the eyes of one of its most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
