Abstract 520    $av. 1. "The present collection of more than seventy reviews and critical essays from the twenty-seven years before 1886 enables the reader to form his or her own independent opinion of the historical status and the stature of Howells' early criticism."--Introduction to v. 1 (p. xx)
Abstract 520    $av. 2 includes selected essays from the Editor's Study (1886-1892), selected essays from Harper's Weekly (1895-1897), miscellaneous essays (1890-1897), and the complete text of Criticism and Fiction (1891)
Abstract 520    $av. 3 includes essays from Literature (1898-1899), essays from The North American Review (1900-1912), essays from Harper's Monthly (1902-1919), and miscellaneous essays (1898-1909). "A word needs to be said about the principles which guided the selection and arrangement of items included in this volume, which represents only about one fifth of the total number of critical pieces Howells published in the last two decades of his life. First, only intrinsically good literary criticism appears: writing in which a rich sensibility freshly treats historically significant authors, genres, movements, or ideas in illuminating ways .... Taken as a whole, the volume constitutes a kind of contemporary commentary on early twentieth-century literature (with the well-known exception of Dreiser and the avant-garde poets)."--Introduction to v. 3 (pp. xviii, xix)
