In a series of influential essays that appeared in Harper's, WD Howells argued for literature as a vehicle for social change. The author explores the legacy of Howells's beliefs as they manifest themselves in Howell's fiction and in the works of three major American writers - Charles W Chesnutt, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Willa Cather.
