About this ebook
Some of William Dean Howells’s best fiction examines the contrast between different manners or levels of sophistication, a subject made familiar to him in part by his sojourn as an American in Italy. This collection of stories shows American and Italian manners in conflict, drawing on Howells’s own experiences as a diplomat in Venice.
