The Landlord at Lion's Head (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

By William Dean Howells

Praised for the masterfully drawn protagonist, Jeff Durgan, The Landlord at Lion’s Head—considered one of Howells’s best novels for its expert characterization—follows Durgin from his impoverished childhood on a New England farm, to his unsuccessful career at Harvard, and finally to success at his fashionable hotel on the old farm’s site.
