This carefully crafted ebook: ‘THE RISE OF SILAS LAPHAM (Unabridged)’ is formatted for your e Reader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
In Howells’ maybe the most famous novel, The Rise of Silas Lapham, the story follows the materialistic rise of Silas Lapham from rags to riches, and his ensuing moral susceptibility. Silas earns a fortune in the paint business, but he lacks social standards, which he tries to attain through his daughter’s marriage into the aristocratic Corey family. Silas’ morality does not fail him. He loses his money but makes the right moral decision when his partner proposes the unethical selling of the mills to English settlers. The resolution of the love triangle of Irene Lapham, Tom Corey, and Penelope Lapham highlights Howells’ rejection of the conventions of sentimental romantic novels as unrealistic and deceitful.
William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author, literary critic, and playwright. He was the first American author to bring a realist aesthetic to the literature of the United States. His stories of Boston upper crust life set in the 1850s are highly regarded among scholars of American fiction.
